Before making her debut, she took acting classes and knocked on doors of numerous modeling agencies, which eventually resulted in a minor role in the TV series “Unfabulous” in 2005, credited as Jessica’s debut. She continued with minor roles including in the horror “Vampire Bats” the same year, while in 2006 she had her first starring role, as Ashley in the horror film “Pray for Morning”. Jessica continued pursuing horror roles, and made a notable appearance in “Left in Darkness”, also in 2006, while in 2007 she portrayed Amber in the box office hit “The Hills Have Eyes 2”, which significantly increased her net worth and launched her to stardom. The following year, Jessica was cast in yet another horror, “Prom Night”, next to Brittany Snow, and Scott Porter, further increasing her net worth, then in order to show that she could act in other genres, Jessica accepted the role of Erin Silver in the TV comedy series “90210” – a sequel to “Beverley Hills, 90210” – which aired from 2008 until 2013, adding a considerable amount to Jessica’s wealth, but also rewarding her with a Prism Award nomination.
In 2014, Jessica was chosen for the part of Max Hardy in the crime-drama mystery series “The Following”, starring Kevin Bacon, James Purefoy and Shawn Ashmore, which added further to her net worth. Two years later, she was Lt. Sullivan in the Edward Zwick’s action-adventure film “Jack Reacher: Never Go Back”, starring Tom Cruise and Aldis Hodge, while most recently she played Joy Meachum in the TV action-adventure series “Iron Fist”, starring next to Finn Jones, and Jessica Henwick.
