Katheryn Winnick played Hannah Burley on the hit TV series “Bones,” but her acting career extends far beyond that role. Appearing in Season 6 as FBI agent Seeley Booth’s (David Boreanaz) love interest, Hannah’s character created significant tension in the ongoing relationship between Booth and Dr. Temperance Brennan (Emily Deschanel).
While Hannah’s arc ultimately ended with her rejecting Booth’s marriage proposal, Winnick’s portrayal was memorable. Before her “Bones” role, Winnick appeared in a variety of TV shows and movies, including “Law & Order,” “CSI,” and romantic comedies like “Two Weeks Notice.” Her versatility as an actress allowed her to land increasingly prominent roles.
Following “Bones,” Winnick’s career reached new heights, most notably with her portrayal of Lagertha on the historical drama “Vikings.” Her role as the fierce shieldmaiden and Ragnar Lothbrok’s (Travis Fimmel) first wife solidified her place as a leading actress in television. She also headlined the Netflix series “Wu Assassins” and ABC’s “Big Sky,” showcasing her ability to lead in various genres.
Beyond TV, Winnick has continued to take on diverse film roles, from action-packed films like “Polar” to dramas such as “The Marksman.” Katheryn Winnick’s body of work highlights her talent and resilience, proving she’s far more than just a supporting character in network television.
