About

Caitriona Balfe was born on October 4, 1979 in Dublin, Ireland. She is an Irish actress and model who has appeared in films, television and theatre productions. Growing up in a small town outside of Dublin, she attended the National University of Ireland where she studied drama and theater. After college, Balfe moved to Paris to pursue modeling full time. She then went on to work with some of the biggest names in fashion, such as Chanel and Dolce & Gabbana.

Balfe made her acting debut in 2006 with the short film "The Devil You Know," but it wasn't until 2012 when she got her big break in television with the series "Outlander."
