Jessica bio
Born in Pomona, California on April 28, 1981, Jessica and her family moved to Biloxi, Mississippi when she was an infant. Three years later, her father brought the family back to California, then to Del Rio, Texas, before finally settling in southern California when Jessica was nine. In love with the idea of becoming an actress from the age of five, Jessica was 12 before she took her first acting class. Nine months later, she was signed by an agent.
Jessica made her first film debut in 1993 in the Hollywood Pictures comedy "Camp Nowhere." Originally hired for two weeks, she got her lucky break when an actress in a principal role suddenly dropped out. Jessica admits it wasn't her talent or charm that inspired the director to tap her to take over the part. It was her long, dark hair, which matched the original performer's. The two-week job stretched to two months, and Jessica ended the film with an impressive first credit.
Two national television commercials for Nintendo and J.C. Penney quickly followed before Jessica was featured in several independent films. She branched out into television in 1994 with a role in Nickelodeon's popular comedy series "The Hidden World of Alex Mack." She played an insufferable young snob, devoted to making life miserable for the title character, a girl with magical powers. That same year, she won the role of Maya in "Flipper" and filmed the pilot for the series. Jessica spent 1995 shooting the first season's episodes in Australia. An avid swimmer and PADI-certified scuba diver, she was delighted to be doing a show which allows her to play with dolphins and participate in her favorite sports.
She had many guest apperiences in Tv shows and made several movies before starring in James Cameron's "Dark Angel" as Max. She is now engaged with her co star Micheal Weatherly.
