Annie Murphy

Annie Murphy is a Canadian actress who rose to international fame through her role as Alexis Rose on the beloved CBC and Pop TV sitcom “Schitt’s Creek.” Born on December 19, 1986, in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, she studied theatre at Concordia University in Montreal before pursuing a career in acting. Her early career was marked by small television roles and a period of financial hardship that nearly led her to leave the industry entirely.

Murphy’s career-defining moment came when she was cast as Alexis Rose in “Schitt’s Creek” in 2015. The show, created by Eugene Levy and his son Dan Levy, became a cultural phenomenon, particularly during its later seasons. Murphy’s portrayal of the spoiled but lovable socialite earned widespread acclaim, and she won the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series in 2020, part of the show’s historic sweep at that year’s ceremony.

Following the conclusion of “Schitt’s Creek” in 2020, Murphy starred in the dark comedy series “Kevin Can F**k Himself” on AMC, where she played Allison McRoberts, a woman who plots to escape her miserable marriage. The show ran for two seasons and showcased her dramatic range. She has also appeared in the films “Witness Protection” and lent her voice to animated projects.

With an estimated net worth of $4 million, Murphy has established herself as a versatile performer capable of both comedy and drama. Her Emmy win and the enduring popularity of “Schitt’s Creek” have ensured a steady stream of opportunities, and she continues to take on projects that challenge her as an actress.
