Kylie Bunbury is a Canadian‑American actress known for her versatile performances across television and film. Born on January 30, 1989 in Montreal, Quebec, she grew up in a multicultural environment, spending early years in England and Portugal before settling in Prior Lake, Minnesota, which she still calls home. The daughter of former professional soccer player Alex Bunbury and Kristi Novak, her heritage blends Guyanese‑Canadian, Polish, and Swedish roots, a background that has informed her dynamic on‑screen presence. After initially pursuing modeling, Bunbury shifted to acting at her agency’s encouragement, landing her first television role as Kathleen on the long‑running soap Days of Our Lives. She quickly gained visibility with supporting parts in the teen rom‑com Prom and the comedy The Sitter before earning a regular spot as Eva in the CBS science‑fiction series Under the Dome. Her breakthrough came with the Fox drama Pitch, where she portrayed the fictional first female Major League Baseball player, a role that highlighted both her athleticism and dramatic depth. In 2019, Bunbury delivered a powerful performance as Angie Richardson in the Netflix miniseries When They See Us, earning critical praise for her portrayal of a mother coping with injustice. She continued to expand her repertoire with a leading role in Peacock’s adaptation of Brave New World and, since 2020, has been a mainstay of ABC’s crime drama Big Sky as Cassie Dewell. Off‑screen, she married Jon‑Ryan Alan Riggins in 2020 and is a mother of two children, a son born in 2021 and a daughter in 2024. Her career, active since 2010, reflects a steady ascent marked by diverse characters, compelling storytelling, and a commitment to both her craft and family.
