Anna Katriina 'Kati' Outinen was born on 17 August 1961 and is a notable Finnish actress, particularly recognized for her recurring leading roles in Aki Kaurismäki's films.

Outinen and Kaurismäki's latest collaboration was 'The Other Side of Hope' in 2017. Aside from film, Outinen has also contributed to the screenplay of the Finnish soap opera 'Salatut elämät' and played a Swedish bank manager in the Estonian series 'The Bank' in 2018. Notably, she has also lent her voice to the animation series 'Babar' and the video game 'Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus' as Ritva Tuomivaara.
