Risi Simms

Born on July 8, 1988, in Randolph, New Jersey, Elizabeth Katz has built a career that spans adult entertainment, acting, cosplay, and online content creation across more than two decades.

Early Career and Film Work

Katz's first credited role came in the 2005 film The Crow: Wicked Prayer, marking her entry into on-screen work while still a teenager. By 2007, she had transitioned into adult entertainment under the pseudonym Risi Simms, a name she used throughout her time in that side of the industry. She worked in adult film from 2007 through 2015, after which she moved away from that chapter of her career.

Cosplay and Convention Circuit

A turning point came in 2012 when Katz won IGN's Best Cosplay award at WonderCon, which led her to pursue cosplay as a professional endeavor. That same year, she became active on Twitch, building a presence around cosplay content and gaming. In 2013, she ran a crowdfunding campaign for a cosplay outfit that raised $4,690 against an original goal of $650. The campaign drew attention beyond the cosplay community, sparking broader discussion about the use of crowdfunding platforms for costume projects.

Playboy listed Katz as the fifth sexiest cosplayer in 2014, and FHM placed her fourth in a similar ranking in 2016. She has since maintained a regular presence at conventions and events.

Profile and Online Presence

Standing at 5'0" with blonde hair and blue eyes, Katz fits comfortably among short models in the creator space. She has several tattoos, including a moon design with the words "Goodnight Demon Slayer" on the back of her right shoulder, and the words "Press" and "Start" on her left and right thighs respectively.

Beyond her adult work as Risi Simms, Katz has worked across multiple platforms as a content creator, YouTuber, and TikTok personality under her real name. She has collaborated with filmmaker Sam Macaroni on various projects. Her professional identity has effectively shifted from adult performer to cosplayer and internet personality, though she continues to produce adult-oriented content through subscription platforms. With activity dating back to 2005, she has remained in the public eye for over twenty years across several distinct phases of her career.
