Canadian-born actress Katie Boland first began to achieve recognition before her 15th birthday, when tapped to portray the manipulative Annie Putnam in the Alliance Atlantis-produced historical miniseries Salem Witch Trials (2003), opposite heavyweights Jonathan Pryce and Alan Bates. After receiving prominent billing in the Canadian television series Terminal City (2005) and essaying a role in the big-screen Canadian feature Mount Pleasant, Boland landed a supporting role in an A-list Hollywood production: Doug Liman's effects-heavy sci-fi adventure Jumper (2008).
