 In 1993, Jessica made her movie debut in Camp Nowhere. She
was originally hired for a short time but got lucky when one of the main
actresses dropped out. Jessica, who had the same color hair as the actress,
eagerly took over the spot. After her first movie, Jessica appeared in two
commercials for Nintendo and J.C. Penny and a few independent films. In 1994,
she landed a reoccurring role in "The Secret World of Alex Mac." She played a
snob who made life hard for the main character with magical powers.
Also in 1994, she landed the role of Maya for a pilot of "Flipper." Jessica
spent 1995 filming the first season of "Flipper" in Australia. Jessica is a
PADI-certified diver and the "Flipper" show allowed her to have fun and play
with the dolphins. The success of the first season of "Flipper" lead to the
filming of the second season, which Jessica also starred in. Jessica involvement
in "Flipper" lasted from 1995-1997. Since "Flipper" Jessica has appeared in a
number of television shows and movies.
In 1996, Jessica appeared in Venus Rising as Young Eve. Also in 1996, she
appeared in an episode of "Chicago Hope", as Maria. In 1997, Jessica appeared on
the "Dini Petty Show", a Canadian talk show, and talked about her role in
Flipper and her general acting career. She began working on P.U.N.K.S.,
featuring Randy Quaid, in 1998. P.U.N.K.S. was just recently released on video
in early January, 1999.
In 1998, Jessica appeared in several TV shows for an episode or two. In early
1998, she appeared in "Brooklyn South", as Melissa. A few months later, she
appeared in two episodes of "Beverly Hills 90210", as Leanne. And finally, she
appeared in an episode of "Love Boat: The Next Wave." In 1999 she appeared a
huge number of magazines. She had a small role in Never Been Kissed which was
released in the Spring. A month later she could be found with a larger role in
Idle Hands. Her two performances in those movies started a buzz in the
entertainment industry. Many more magazines would come knocking on her door.
Shortly after the release of those two movies, she landed the starring role in
Paranoia. She finished filming Paranoia in June. The movie is in post-production
now.
Shortly later she started working on what will potentially be her biggest work
ever. She auditioned for the leading role in Dark Angel. She caught the eye of
James Cameron and will now star in the post anticipated TV show of 2000, Dark
Angel. With the huge success of Dark Angel and its legion of fans, Jessica will
no longer be a rising star, she will be among the hollywood elite, a star.
