Thekla Reuten is an undeniable front-runner in the new century's wave of European actresses lauded on the international stage and screen. In the space of just three years, the Dutch actress was a prominent member of two Best Picture Oscar nominees in the Foreign Language Feature category. In the Belgian comedy-drama "Everybody's Famous!" and the 2002 Dutch offering "Twin Sisters," she presented herself to international audiences as a force to be reckoned with. Reuten was then able to land a few notable English-language credits. On stage she starred opposite Gael Garcia Bernal in "Bloodwedding" directed by Rufus Norris at the Almeida Theatre. But arguably Reuten's best work in the United States was for the 2006-2007 Showtime series "Sleeper Cell" - in the second season, she portrayed a Muslim fundamentalist posing as a nanny. She had a small part in the quirky 2008 hitman drama "In Bruges," starring Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson, and guested on an episode of the ABC fantasy series "Lost." In 2010 she played opposite George Clooney in his thriller "The American," which was shot in Europe, and in 2018 she also appeared in the 2018 Francis Lawrence spy-thriller "Red Sparrow". Last year she was awarded Best Actress twice for her lead role in critically acclaimed intimate drama "Narcosis". Most recently Reuten played Jillian Salvius in the Netflix action-fantasy series "Warrior Nun" and will be starring in Prime Video's Citadel: Diana, the next chapter in the Citadel Spyverse by the Russo Brothers' AGBO.

Speaking five European languages (Dutch, English, Italian, German and French) and with an Italian mother Reuten graduated from Amsterdam's Academy of Dramatic Arts in 1997 and quickly came to the recognition of stage and screen directors to garner roles in significant productions, debuting with leading Dutch TV series Wij Alexander (1998).
