Former Boxing World Champion Kali Reis Makes Acting Debut Alongside Hollywood Legend

A Champion in and out of the Ring

Former boxing world champion Kali Reis is transitioning into the world of acting, starring alongside Hollywood legend Jodie Foster. With a record of 19-7-1 and titles in the middleweight and light-welterweight divisions, Reis is a force to be reckoned with both in and out of the ring.

From the Ring to the Screen

In 2021, the same year as her last bout, Reis made her acting debut in the movie thriller "Catch the Fair One." The film follows the story of a Native American ex-boxer infiltrating a sex-trafficking ring to find her missing sister.

Sharing the Screen with Jodie Foster

Following her debut, Reis starred alongside Oscar winner Jodie Foster in the latest season of the hit HBO show True Detective. Foster praised Reis, saying, "The second I saw Kali, I couldn’t take my eyes off of her. That’s just a gift that you’re either born with or not."

From Struggles to Success

Reis's journey from selling drugs and battling alcoholism as a teenager to becoming a boxing champion and now an actor is truly inspiring. She credits boxing for helping her cope with personal struggles and find solace in the ring.

A New Chapter

While Reis made her mark in the boxing world, she is now focused on her acting career. Her raw and authentic approach to storytelling has garnered praise from co-stars and audiences alike.

True Detective and Beyond

Reis's performance in True Detective series four, which aired from January 14 to February 18, has been well-received. The confirmation of a fifth season hints at more exciting projects to come for the rising star.
