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 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.
