Gina Torres? (I know she had a small appearance in Pushing Daisies.)

Paul Reubens pee wee Herman FOR SURE because I watch these guest appearances, lol! He was great on the Blacklist.

No but that is a very good guess!

Emma Thompson?

Helen Mirren

Both also good guesses, but no... and just to reassure you, this person is not more obscure than those:
