A fighter telling her own stories

Kali Reis is an American actor and professional boxer from Providence, Rhode Island. Before reaching a wide screen audience, she became a world champion in boxing; the discipline and physical awareness of the sport would inform her work as a performer.

In Catch the Fair One she plays Kaylee, a boxer searching for her missing sister. Reis helped develop the story with director Josef Kubota Wladyka; in interviews she discussed the film’s connection to the crisis of missing and murdered Indigenous people.

Reis later starred opposite Jodie Foster in True Detective: Night Country as detective Evangeline Navarro. The role earned her a 2024 Emmy nomination for outstanding supporting actress in a limited or anthology series or movie.

Her movement between sports and storytelling gives her work a distinctive physical presence. The film links below show titles currently available on FLM.RED, not her complete filmography.
