Bex Taylor-Klaus – Defining Roles
The Killing (2013) Bex Taylor-Klaus plays Bullet
The Killing is a multi-dimensional mystery series adapted from a Danish hit crime drama. Seattle detectives Sarah Linden (Mireille Enos) and Stephen Holder (Joel Kinnaman) are assigned to investigate the murder of teenager Rosie Larsen (Katie Findlay). The evidence slowly materializes as the cigarette butts pile higher and higher by the chain-smoking detectives. The setting is rainy, dark Seattle. This is perfect for setting the tone of this dark mystery thriller following the death of a teenager. The detectives make a perfect team, each approaching the mystery from different perspectives and styles. They encounter obstacles at every turn as the case reaches high and higher touching some of the most elite individuals in Seattle.
House of Lies (2014) Bex Taylor-Klaus plays Lex
The comedy-drama series stars Don Cheadle as Marty Kaan. He is a fast-talking, hard-living management consultant. He also specializes in using fluent business jargon that makes clients think he can solve their problems. And sometimes he and his team can actually solve problems. But, the series is more about the antics that occur behind the scenes. House of Lies at its core is a satire about high-priced management consultants and the deep pockets within corporate America that can afford to hire them.
Scream (2015-2019) Bex Taylor-Klaus plays Audrey Jensen
As a TV series, Scream has the advantage of having a famous film namesake. Also, it delivers in the classic slasher genre as expected. The series transitions the high school setting from the big screen to television. Scream stays true to its roots with smart dialogue to go along with the mandatory pools of blood. The movie version conditioned the audience to invest or care about the characters to make the killing efficient. In the show, killers stalk their prey before mutilating them in a gruesome fashion. The butchering is done tastefully, with just the right amount of finesse. The first two seasons especially were excellent and well-acted. Season three saw a drop-off in the plot and selection of actors.

Bex Taylor-Klaus Memorable Quotes
I was obsessed with The Wizard of Oz. So, for about two years, I was Dorothy. Drove my family crazy. It was a whole event. From then on, I was three years old, and my parents were like, “Okay, we’re going to have to put this kid in acting classes.” So, I started doing acting classes, and camps, and I think my parents figured it would be cheaper than therapy in the long run. It wasn’t, but it still worked out, so I’m not mad. They would put me in Alliance Theater acting camp when I was a kid. I remember, my first year, walking into this room with chairs and a black floor that was meant to be the stage, and I was just like, “What is this? I like it. This is fun!” And, I fell in love with Shakespeare in the third grade. – Bex Taylor-Klaus
I like to work. I’m always happier with myself when I have a job when I have something to focus on. And as much as I love my real life, because I’ve got a great real life, it is wonderful – I do like having work to dive into on the side. And so I was really looking for something that I could sink my teeth into. I wasn’t looking for network or cable or streaming or anything, I was just looking for a good job that I liked. – Bex Taylor-Klaus
The Killing
For the first couple of years, I was coming back and forth. During one stretch of staying in LA, I had rotating guardians, because my parents have two younger kids. They couldn’t just pick up and move. It was difficult, but it was really cool, having the chance to spend a lot of quality time with different members of my extended family. Then, I ended up moving out and into my own apartment on my 18th birthday. – Bex Taylor-Klaus
I was not doing so great, and my parents were just about ready to come out and take me home. Within three days, I got the call from The Killing on AMC saying, “We want you for Bullet. You’re moving to Canada.” And my parents were like, “Well, we can’t exactly say no to that, but we have to put systems in place to make sure you’re safe up there.” The hardest part was making sure I would have a set tutor, so I could finish high school. My grades were dropping. I’m very smart, but I don’t do school. My set tutor saved everything, and I ended up finishing all my coursework before the kids back home. I came home towards the end of filming, walked in my graduation, and flew back up to Canada to finish. – Bex Taylor-Klaus
