Claudia Ferri(I)
- Actress
Claudia Ferri was born in quite the multi-ethnic family. She grew up hearing Italian, French, Arabic, and English being spoken among parents, cousins, aunts and uncles, thanks to relatives from the 4 corners of the earth. On her maternal side Irish, Scottish, French and Native American. Her paternal heritage is Mediterranean. This has led her to work on screen in English, Italian, French, Spanish and numerous foreign accents.
Her feuille de route is comprised of compelling and versatile performances.
She is featured as the standoffish Cuban expat, Raquel Kimberley-Marco, along side Kristen Wiig, Allison Janney and Ricky Martin, in the exciting new AppleTV series Mrs. American Pie, set to air in 2023.
Recently seen as the determined and straightforward Judge France Charbonneau in Bad Blood, she has at times taunted television audiences with her chilling performance as La Capitana in Queen of the South and in AMC's "The Killing" as Native American band chief Nicole Jackson, while also endearing movie goers, as the clueless, neurotic sister, Anna Barberini, in Mambo Italiano and the touching & loving mother in A Date With Miss Fortune, which garnered her a nomination as Best Actress for the 2017 ACTRA Awards. Claudia Ferri's brand is about character essence.
Claudia Ferri was nominated as best leading actress in a dramatic series for the Canadian Screen Awards' Gémeaux 2014 for her portrayal of a Colombian drug trafficker and money launderer in the based-on-true-events miniseries "The Godmother" (La Marraine). In 2009 she voiced characters in the mega popular video game "Assassin's Creed II; Lineage" and became Ezio Auditore's mother in the live action short movies of the same video game. In 2005, she won the Outstanding Female Performance ACTRA Awards as the series lead, Elena Batista, in the TV comedy "Ciao Bella". In 2003, she was nominated as Best Supporting Actress at the Jutras Awards and Canadian Comedy Awards for her role as Anna Barberini in "Mambo Italiano".
She got her first break in film in 1996, when a VHS taped audition she'd sent out, retained the directors' attention. She subsequently landed the role of Maura Ramirez, Lt. Ramirez's wife (Aidan Quinn), in "The assignment", also sharing the screen with Donald Sutherland, and Ben Kingsley.
