10 Karen Gillan Performances You Have To See

From sci-fi to sitcoms and everything in between.

Karen Thumbs Up Gif Karen Gillan has firmly established herself as a formidable on screen force to be reckoned with since she became a household name for her co-starring role in Doctor Who. After being zapped back in time by the Weeping Angels in Series 7, her career has been going from strength to strength across the (Amy) pond with breakthrough roles in a variety of mainstream movies and TV shows, including a short-lived sitcom which she helmed with enough confidence and gusto to affirm her presence as a lauded leading lady. Needless to say, Karen has earned herself a large and ever growing legion of dedicated fans and, luckily for them, there's plenty of her to go around even when she isn't lighting up the big and small screens (which, in fairness, isn't that often). But where does one begin?! Her reputable résumé is bursting at the seams with a plethora of prestigious performances - from her portrayal of Marvel mercenary Nebula in Guardians of the Galaxy to her spin as social media fiend Eliza Dooley in Selfie - and if you're in the mood for a fix of Gillan, it can be difficult to know where to start. Don't worry, though, because WhoCulture has rummaged through her fantastic filmography to handpick just 10 of her most unmissable performances to date. You're welcome!
