- Kosha Engler is an American/British actress, voice artist, singer and writer based between London, UK and the US East Coast.
Kosha began her career in Baltimore, Maryland where she made her TV debut in HBO's The Wire (2002). Her 'plucky magnanimous warmth' (Boston Globe), 'radiance' (Washington Post) and vulnerability in a host of ingenue roles saw her win the Irene Ryan Acting Award, appear in Disney's family drama Tuck Everlasting (2002) with Sissy Spacek and William Hurt, as well as on the finest stages in the region.
Kosha moved to London for love in 2005. She soon established herself with a 'faultless' (WhatsOnStage) performance as Carol in David Mamet's Oleanna, which earned her a Best Actress nomination from the Manchester Evening News Theatre Awards. In a national UK tour of When Harry Met Sally Kosha played acerbic New Yorker Marie with 'sublime comic timing' (WhatsOnStage). In 2017 Kosha was 'superb' (Radio Times) in a bold three-person Hamlet as she switched between an American and English accent to play Gertrude, a 'mesmerising Ophelia' (Love London Love Culture), Horatio and Rosencrantz.
While in the UK Kosha has expanded her acting experience to film, TV, voice over and games including motion capture. Now a mother, she brings presence, authority, sophistication and elegance to roles as diverse as a ruthless Queen in the historical drama Alexander: The Making of a God (2024), a rebel commander in the game Crysis 3 (2013), the voice of Maybelline UK, a seductive American heiress in the period drama Victoria (2016) and a fashion powerhouse in the romantic comedy Very Valentine (2019).
