amy acker

Amy Acker is an actress from Dallas born in 1976. She has appeared on television shows such as Angel and Dollhouse. Both are the creations of Joss Whedon, which partly explains how she has been made a cast member of these in the first place. Science fiction is an arena she has had strong success in.

Those who enjoy writing about Acker's work in a blog setting make sure others know of their delight in this professional woman who makes her living in front of a camera. They are lately enamored of her as Dr. Claire Saunders, the physician caught between duty and compassion on Dollhouse. Every mannerism and nuance are paid particular attention.

• Much Ado About Nothing

  
  — Authority:
  He’s only directed three features thus far but, between his exhaustive TV work and general pop-culture nerdiness, Joss Whedon is less a man and more a brand and a genre unto himself.
