Emilie Ullerup (born 27 October 1984) is a Danish actress. She is best known for playing Ashley Magnus on the television series Sanctuary[1] and Bree O'Brien on the Hallmark Channel drama series Chesapeake Shores.
Early life and education
[edit]Ullerup was born in Copenhagen, Denmark. Her father, Ove Ullerup, served as the Danish ambassador to Vietnam when she was a teenager, and as ambassador to Sweden after she had started her acting career.[2][3] After graduating from high school in Copenhagen in 2003, she moved to Vancouver, Lower Mainland, British Columbia, Canada, and attended the Vancouver Film School, graduating in 2005.[4]
Career
[edit]Ullerup's first role was that of Julia Brynn on the remake television series of Battlestar Galactica in 2006, which aired on the Sci Fi Channel.[5] She played Ashley Magnus in the first and second seasons of the television show Sanctuary until her character was written out. Her departure remained a topic of heated debate among fans, with many of them wanting her brought back in future episodes,[6] until the show was canceled in 2012.
In 2016, Ullerup was cast as Bree O'Brien in Chesapeake Shores.[7][8] Ullerup played Maggie Thomas, the estranged wife of Michael Thomas, in the disaster movie Asteroid: Final Impact (2015).[9] Since 2016 Ullerup has had a recurring role as Dale Travers in Hallmark's Signed, Sealed, Delivered movies series.[10] She played Katie Ryan in Love and Glamping in 2020.
In 2024, Ullerup starred in the Lifetime film Mormon Mom Gone Wrong: The Ruby Franke Story as part of its "Ripped from the Headlines" feature films where she portrayed Ruby Franke.[11] She also appeared in the Hallmark Channel’s Retreat to You in the same year.[12]
Personal life
[edit]Ullerup speaks Danish, English and Vietnamese – which she learned while her father was the Danish ambassador to Vietnam. Her father later held the title of Lord Chamberlain for the Danish royal family.[13]
In 2008, she was found to have a benign but aggressive tumor wrapped around her spinal nerves. She underwent surgery to remove the tumor in 2009,[14] at which time her coccyx and half of the sacrum of her pelvis were removed.[6] After about five months, she recovered enough to return to work.[15]
On 14 August 2018, she married her longtime boyfriend photographer Kyle Cassie.[16]
On 24 January 2020 Emilie and Kyle celebrated the birth of their son, Wilde Mørkøv Ullerup Cassie. They had their daughter, Coco Mørkøv Ullerup Cassie, on 28 October 2022.[17]
