Kathryn Hunter

Kathryn Hunter is an American-born, British actress who portrayed Eedy Karn in Star Wars: Andor. She is best known for her theater work, and for playing Arabella Figg in the 2007 film Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix and the Three Witches in the 2021 film The Tragedy of Macbeth.

For Andor, Hunter and Kyle Soller, Syril Karn's actor, worked together on a story about Karn's father. The story was that he left early on in an acrimonious and horrible way. They both thought Eedy being wronged was the launchpad for how she raised Syril. The actors believed that Eedy's anger, grief, disappointment, and frustration of him leaving filtered into Syril.
