Birthplace:
Redbridge, Essex, England
Birth Name:
Louise Maria Perkins
Louise Lombard was born Louise Maria Perkins on September 13th 1970 in Redbridge, Essex. She attended the local Catholic school and by the time she left at the age of 16, she had already appeared in television adverts.



In the early 1990s, Louise had been seen in numerous television shows as a guest star. Most notably: ITV'S police drama 'The Bill' as Susan Perterfield in 'Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow,' the BBC's hospital series 'Casualty' in 'All's Fair' and an episode of the Jersey based detective show 'Bergerac.' However it was her performance as Anna in the second



… More series of the ITV con-man drama Chancer, opposite Clive Owen, that brought her to the British public's attention.



Not long after her success in 'Chancer,' Louise was offered a starring role in the BBC period drama The House Of Eliott as Evangeline Eliott. It was this performance that gained her national and international recognition. The 1920's based fashion drama ran for three series, was sold world wide and was watched by over ten million viewers each week in the UK. Although Louise was completely convincing in her portrayal of an innocent Evie, struggling for independence and success, in a 1993 interview with The Mail on Sunday she said, 'I know it is sacrilege, but the truth is I haven't a clue about fashion.'



During the mid - late 1990s, Louise performed on stage and took a central role in the ITV drama 'Bodyguards.' She also appeared on the big screen in 'Tale of The Mummy' alongside c horror actor Christopher Lee and played the title role in 'Esther', part of an Emmy award series of biblical adaptations. Other notable film appearances are in 'Diggity,' 'Hidalgo' and more recently, 'The Call.'



In 2004, Louise returned to the small screen when she began a run of guest appearances in the top rated show, CSI as Sophia Curtis. Louise ended her role as Sofia Curtis in the beginning of Season 8 and after almost 4 years of Sofia Curtis being "awol" Louise reprised her role on 2011. With the return of Sofia Curtis we learned of her recet promotion to Deputy Chief of Police while investigating along CSI in the return of serial killer Nate Haskell. Louise has not yet been scheduled for any further appearences. Although they say there is a chance we may see Sofia Curtis once again in the Season 11 finale.



Louise was married to cameraman Jon Stephen and they have two children Alejandro and Rafaela.

    Great actress who brings a breath of fresh air to CSI. hide show

    I've been a fan of Louise since seeing her star in Bodyguards. It's great to see her in CSI. She brings a breath of fresh air to the show and has great chemistry with Brass (they need to get their own comedy show!)

    Let's hope we see more of Sofia!

    Just Started watching I love the show and I think they need more of Sofia. hide show

    I admit I just started watching CSI I had to see what all the buzz was about and it was a instant hit. They need more tough chicks out there and more butt kicking (just a little). Don't want to take away from the show. Its all good just more Sofia kicking butt. haa

    Limited facial expressions and a shotgun, interesting... hide show

    I'm sure she's great in any other role, but I cannot *stand* her character Sophia Curtis...at lest, until this season. This season, she really is becoming more bearable but in such episodes as Formalities and Unbearable, she really is unbearable. Which is she, a CSI or a Detective? She's got to stay away from Grissom. In my humble opinion, she is a heck of a lot better as a detective and Brass' friend. She can even be interesting at times. That is, when she sows some facial expression. I don't know if this is how Sophia is or if Louise is like this in every role...

    I am a girl living in England who's a big fan of CSI and think it's good having someone from my country on CSI. hide show

    I am a girl living in England who's a big fan of CSI and think it's good having someone from my country on CSI. She's the best actress who's ignored because she's a recurring charecter. She can do the best American accent I've heard from an English person. She has charisma. in "A Bullet Runs Through It" she managed to convey what Sofia Cutis was going through just with a tone of voice, body language, an expression. P S: Does this mean she's going to become a regular now?

    P P S: Sofia and Brass: anyone seen any chemistry there?
