ABOUT

Kosha began her career in Baltimore, Maryland where she made her TV debut in HBO’s The Wire.

Her ‘plucky magnanimous warmth’ (Boston Globe), ‘radiance’ (Washington Post) and vulnerability in a host of ingénue roles saw her win the Irene Ryan Acting Award, appear in Disney’s family drama Tuck Everlasting with Sissy Spacek, as well as on the finest stages in the region.

Kosha moved to London for love in 2005. She soon established herself with a ‘faultless’ (WhatsOnStage) performance as Carol in David Mamet’s Oleanna, which earned her a Best Actress nomination from the Manchester Evening News Theatre Awards. In a national UK tour of When Harry Met Sally Kosha played acerbic New Yorker Marie with ‘sublime comic timing’ (WhatsOnStage). Most recently, Kosha was ‘superb’ (Radio Times) in a bold three-person Hamlet where she played Gertrude, a ‘mesmerising Ophelia’ (Love London Love Culture), Horatio and Rosencrantz.

While in the UK Kosha has expanded her acting experience from theatre to film, TV, voice over and games including motion capture. Now a mother of two boys, she brings presence, authority, sophistication and elegance to roles as diverse as a rebel commander in the game Crysis 3, the voice of Maybelline UK, a seductive American heiress in the period drama Victoria for ITV/PBS Masterpiece and the formidable Olympias, mother of Alexander the Great in Alexander: The Making of a God for Netflix. Kosha plays Mayor Mitchell’s wife in The Batman starring Robert Pattinson directed by Matt Reeves.

Kosha loves to sing jazz, blues and country around town - solo, in a trio and in a pop choir. She has been a regular player in LiveWired, a London-based comedy improvisation troupe.

Other endeavours:
Kosha has a 40-hour Teacher Training certificate in the Primary Series of Ashtanga Yoga from David Swenson, one of the world’s foremost practitioners. She loves games and puzzles of all kinds especially Escape Rooms, Hearthstone, Bridge and Tak.
