Amy Acker stars as Tory, a woman who instantly dislikes the fresh-faced, eager young nanny hired by her handsome brother-in-law Matthew on Freeform's "The Watchful Eye."

Acker is known to millions of fans throughout the world for her long-running starring role as Winifred "Fred" Burkle/Illyria in Joss Whedon's hit sci-fi/fantasy series "Angel." For her portrayal, Acker received four Saturn Award nominations, winning in 2004 for Best Supporting Actress. Other notable television credits include a reoccurring role in the Fox hit series "9-1-1: Lone Star" and starring roles in Fox's "The Gifted" and the hit CBS series "Person of Interest."

On the big screen, Acker starred in the role of Beatrice in Joss Whedon's "Much Ado About Nothing." From the Atlantic, "Maybe the most spectacular recent example of a young American movie and television actor tackling a classical part is Acker's radiant Beatrice in 'Much Ado About Nothing,' Joss Whedon's nimble, and very faithful, 2012 movie of one of Shakespeare's sprightliest comedies." She has also starred in "The Cabin in the Woods" and appeared in the Leonardo DiCaprio-Tom Hanks hit film "Catch Me If You Can." She has also appeared in several independent features, including "The Energy Specialist," "Let's Kill Ward's Wife," "21 and a Wake-Up" and "The Novice."
