Jessica Myhr is a versatile actress based in the NYC/Philadelphia area who has worked off-broadway and regionally while appearing in several TV/Film projects. Jessica grew up near Minneapolis, MN and has Northern European and Scandinavian heritage. From a strong love of the classics, to natural comedic timing and deep vulnerability, Jessica has a wide range and unique duality. Whether she is taking on the fierce Harpy as Ariel in The Tempest, a “captivating and coldly wicked” London prostitute, or winning you over on roller skates in a Ken Ludwig farce while doing a terrible Marlon Brando impression, or even stuffing her face as Izzy in Rabbit Hole, “Myhr threatens to walk off with the show whenever she appears.”
Jessica was directed by Adam Arkin on Sneaky Pete (Amazon) and had a recurring role on All My Children (ABC) as a sassy nurse of Pine Valley hospital having several scenes with Alicia Minshew and Susan Lucci. Her films include; Babyface, Jim and Emma, Bristol Goodman, Speed of Love, Send in the Clown, Textual Intercourse, Julia, Henry (PBS Special) and Casual Encounters currently available on Amazon Prime. No matter what creative project she takes on, “Myhr raises the enterprise to a higher level.”
