Naomi Watts

Naomi Watts is a well known British actress who is best known for her roles in King Kong and the dystopian Divergent series. She has also worked as a producer during her career.

Watts had a rough start in the acting industry, struggling to find work initially. She had a few roles back in the nineties, including a recurring small role on Home and Away and a stint in the TV series, Brides of Christ. However, it was almost ten years before Watts began to find significant roles, starting with her leading performance in the iconic horror film, The Ring. She reprised the role a second time a few years later, but by then, she had numerous other projects keeping her busy too. In 2005, she starred in King Kong alongside Jack Black, becoming part of a project which won three Oscars and over forty other awards, including a Saturn Award for Watts’ performance. Watts herself has also been nominated for two Oscars, but she has yet to win, though she has fifty-nine other awards under her belt.

Watts came under the spotlight again when the popular Divergent book series was brought to the big screen, allowing Watts to star as Evelyn Eaton, one of the main characters. Though the series was never fully finished, the films were a hit in the box office. Now, Watts is working on a number of new projects, including one affiliated with the popular series, Game of Thrones.
