Why Sheriff Kerry From Lanterns Looks So Familiar
Lanterns has introduced a host of new faces to the DC Universe, including Sheriff Kerry Kane - but where might you have seen her face before?
Sheriff Kerry Kane, played by Scottish actress Kelly Macdonald, appears in the first season of the animated series Lanterns. Fans may recognize her familiar face due to Macdonald's extensive list of critically acclaimed credits. She gained widespread acclaim for her role in the HBO series Boardwalk Empire, where she portrayed Nucky Thompson's mistress and wife, Margaret.
Macdonald's talents also landed her a prominent role in the critically acclaimed British crime drama Line of Duty, where she played DCI Jo Davidson. Her versatility extends to other projects as well, such as her portrayal of bounty hunter Pokkit in Star Wars: Skeleton Crew and Dr. Irving in the Scottish crime drama Dept. Q. Macdonald has also appeared in films such as Brave, No Country for Old Men, and Finding Neverland.
Known for her ability to switch accents, Macdonald was tasked with adopting an American accent for her role in Lanterns. She noted that the more specific the accent requirements, the easier it becomes for her to convincingly portray a character. In the case of Lanterns, the rural Nebraska setting provided her with a key location to anchor her accent, allowing her to convincingly portray a Nebraska native alongside Kyle Chandler and John Stewart.
