Which actress plays Crimson Countess in The Boys?

The actress who plays Crimson Countess in The Boys is Laurie Holden.

Holden appears as Crimson Countess in the show’s third season. The character is a fire-powered supe and a longtime member of Payback, the team formerly led by Soldier Boy. Before the events of the season, she was also Soldier Boy’s romantic partner, although their relationship was marked by fear and resentment rather than genuine affection.

Crimson Countess initially appears to be a glamorous, patriotic celebrity hero. The story later reveals that she and the other members of Payback betrayed Soldier Boy to the Russians in 1984. When Soldier Boy returns, he confronts her about abandoning him and kills her with the powerful energy blast released from his chest.

Laurie Holden is also known for playing Andrea Harrison in The Walking Dead and Marita Covarrubias in The X-Files. Her casting in The Boys is sometimes overlooked because Crimson Countess has a relatively brief storyline, despite her importance to Soldier Boy’s backstory.
