Hi all,

I'm having a problem with this actress, Karen Elizabeth Austin.
For Imdb, she played in the series Caprica the role of Ruth, credited both as Karen Austin and Karen Elizabeth Austin.

There's an other (?) actress, Karen Austin.
For Imdb, she played in the series Battlestar Galactica the role of Lilly, credited as Karen Austin.

But for other sources :
http://en.battlestarwiki.org/wiki/Karen_Elizabeth_Austin
http://www.tvrage.com/person/id-6455/Karen+Elizabeth+Austin
It's the same person...

Do someone know what is the right thing ? Two different actresses or the same ?

The Battlestar Galactica actress is the same person, I believe.

http://en.battlestarwiki.org/wiki/Ruth
http://en.battlestarwiki.org/wiki/Lilly

Although it looks like this Karen Austin is NOT the same person as the Battlestar Galactica actress even though IMDB thinks it both is and isn't.

Actually, the more I look into this the more confusing it is. I think it may be the same person and IMDB has two different profiles for one person.

We need to know if the older person pictured on the Galactica pages is the same one from the eighties. She looks much older than the other one.

Does anyone have access to the fairly recent CSI: Miami episodes she is in (Season 7 as Judge Stets)? Does she look like the older person from Galactica or the more youthful looking eighties actress?

The CSI: Miami actress is Karen Austin
My one wish for the DVD Profiler online database: Ban or remove the disc-level profiles of TV season sets. It completely screws up/inflates the CLT.
FACT: Imdb is WRONG 70% of the time! Misspelled cast, incomplete cast, wrong cast/crew roles. So for those who want DVD Profiler to be "as perfect as Imdb", good luck with that.
Stop adding UNIT crew! They're invalid credits. Stop it!

I don't know if that helps a lot as IMDB thinks that both actresses are in Galactica. But the two Galactica characters are both played by the older looking person.

Can someone grab an image of how the actress appears in CSI: Miami?

Even the normally (fairly) reliable Aveleyman site has them as both separate people AND the same person...

On this first link she appears to have aged terribly during 2008! ('The Passengers' capture HAS to be wrong, surely?)
http://www.aveleyman.com/ActorCredit.aspx?ActorID=708
http://www.aveleyman.com/ActorCredit.aspx?ActorID=72358


I might dig out The Rum Diary and see if I can find her in that.

The CSI: Miami actress is the West Virginia-born Karen Austin. Trust me.

Thanks, Huskersports.

I think we may need a thread to separate one from the other. They seem to be very different looking people but appear in the same sort of shows under the same name and most sites seem to have them confused. How annoying.

I even have a third Karen Austin in my DB, actress in 'The Eye', but I think it's a different person from the one (or two) we're talking about here.

edit: Maybe not... she have 'The passengers' in her Imdb filmography
