In Pictures: Kim Engelbrecht hanging out with her co-stars #TheFlash. She is flying our flag high, from acting Isidingo straight to star in one of the worlds hit superhero series. So we decided to give you some facts about our star while serving you with her latest Instagram pictures…enjoy!!!
Kim was born in Belhar Cape Town on 20 June 1980. While her accent has been a key part of many of her local roles, the Mother City has also become her international home.
With the development of multiple movie studios in Cape Town, filmmakers and TV producers have been flocking to the Cape to get their show made.
Back in 2014, Kim worked on an American sci-fi series set in the future called Dominion. While the show aired only in the US, she didn’t even have to leave the country.
Kim wasn’t just on TV at 12, she was also in her first film, “Sarahsara”. She got to work on it in Italy and the role saw her play a Sudanese cripple. From there, she landed a role as a Craz-E presenter on eTV.
Arguably her most “famous” role in SA, Kim played a struggling teen who came of age on the soapie Isidingo. When looking back at the roles she has played in her career, Kim says Lolly truly deepened the acting experience for her.
Currently, Kim plays The Mechanic/ Marlize DeVoe on the CW’s The Flash. The Flash is big all around the globe and receives some top reviews from critics across the board. Similarly with Pearl Thusi and Quantico, though, not enough South Africans know that their local star is in that show. The more people that knew “Lolly” was on a US, show, the more SA support the show would have.
