If you caught the premiere of ABC's musical comedy event series Galavant last night, then you saw Canadian-British actress/singer Karen David starring as Princess Isabella. But she's not your typical princess.
Meet the Cast of the New Series 'Galavant'
Born in India, raised in Canada and schooled in London, David has been in several major television and film roles in the U.K., as well as some musical theater and a few pop singles under her belt.
With a self-described heritage consisting of "Chinese, Indian and a sliver of Jewish," she isn't one's traditional first choice for the lady lead in a singing medieval farce (think Monty Python and The Princess Bride). In fact, the character was originally conceived with a "Jennifer Lawrence" type in mind.
