Elevated Magazine – Katie Cassidy is an American actress, director, and producer widely recognized as a staple of superhero television and a modern-day “scream queen.” Born into an entertainment family as the daughter of pop icon David Cassidy and as third generation Hollywood, she built a distinct acting career independent of her family’s musical legacy. Cassidy became a mainstay on popular television with memorable arcs in Supernatural, Gossip Girl, and the Melrose Place reboot, while also appearing in feature films like the action-thriller Taken and the romantic comedy Monte Carlo. Her most defining television role came when she was cast as Laurel Lance (Black Canary) on The CW’s hit series Arrow. For nearly a decade, she anchored the Arrowverse, portraying multiple alternate-universe variations of the superhero character across The Flash and Legends of Tomorrow.
In recent years, Cassidy has shifted her focus toward complex dramatic lead roles, high-concept genre films, and creative leadership behind the camera.
Next up, Katie is set to star in the film adaptation of ReAnimator, alongside Joseph Morgan. Filming wrapped this August, with a 2027 release for the film in motion. Cassidy is continuing her prominent run in the horror genre by starring in Herbert West: Reanimator, a modern-day reimagining of H.P. Lovecraft’s classic sci-fi horror tale. She takes on the lead role of Dr. Kate Locke, the professional partner to the infamous, obsessively brilliant mad scientist Herbert West.
Director Michael Grossman is directing Herbert West: Reanimator, the feature film based on a contemporary script written by Jade Sandberg Wallace, produced by Woodlake Entertainment, helmed by Jeff Lewis.
Tell us why this role excites you?
Katie Cassidy: I was excited to get back into the horror genre and this character was one I could really sink my teeth into.Why did you want to take on the role of Kate?
Cassidy: I’m thrilled to take on the role of Dr. Kate Locke. She’s the new pathologist at Alton General. Her backstory is very intriguing and darker than one would expect. She is smart and fearless, willing to do whatever it takes to prove her work is greater than anything God can create.Were you familiar with the story before the Producer approached you for Kate?
Cassidy: I was not initially. However, I did watch the original and was wildly entertained. Our approach to this version is more grounded, but with some “hats off” to the original film.
