life and career
Malcomson was born in 1970 in Belfast, Northern Ireland, where she grew up and completed much of her schooling. At the age of 19 she moved to New York , where she worked on her acting career and initially was mainly used in local theater productions. Her film debut followed in 1992: In Another Girl Another Planet , she played a bartender. The following year the role of Allie Earp followed in Tombstone .
From 1998 she was used in various film productions and played smaller guest roles in various internationally broadcast television series. In 1999 she appeared in the four-time Oscar-nominated drama The Green Mile . Her first appearance on a television series was in 1999: an appearance in an episode of Profiler .
After working mainly in film productions, the breakthrough on television came in 2004. She was initially cast for the role of Trixie in the US television series Deadwood and was seen in this role in all 36 episodes until 2006. In addition to international fame, this also earned her a nomination for a Screen Actors Guild Award in the category “ Best Acting Ensemble in a TV Series - Drama ” at the 2007 awards ceremony , where she was nominated as part of a 22-member ensemble.
After Deadwood , Malcomson, who among other things financially supported the short film Tilt released in 2003 and appeared in the credits of William Eggleston in the Real World in 2005 , was used in two episodes of Lost in 2006 , where she played Colleen Pickett , the wife of Danny Pickett (played by Michael Bowen ), was seen. In 2006 she also worked as an executive producer on the almost nine-minute short film Like Old Times and was also included in the Emergency Room team for a recurring role , where she played in eight different episodes until 2007. As a result, she got more and more engagements in numerous well-known television series, with her appearances in films declined sharply.
In 2008 she appeared in the short film In the AM of Dec. 26th at Mickey's (on the Corner of Cunningham & Kongosak in Barrow) as producer and director in appearance.
