Jessica Harmon

Two CW series account for most of what audiences have actually seen of Jessica Harmon: Niylah on The 100 between 2016 and 2020, and FBI agent Dale Bozzio on iZombie between 2015 and 2019. Those runs overlapped for four years, which is a credential in itself, because it means two separate writers' rooms independently decided to keep bringing her back.

The earlier credits are the horror and direct-to-video end of the same business. A small part in Agent Cody Banks in 2003, the 2006 Black Christmas remake, Hollow Man II the same year, Fear Island in 2009, The Marine 3: Homefront, Dead Rising: Endgame. None of it is prestige, and the honest thing to say is that this is what a working screen career usually looks like from the inside: sequels, franchise offshoots and thrillers with a number in the title, done well enough that the next call comes. She also has a run of Hallmark-shaped seasonal features, which is a genuine skill set rather than a punchline; playing sincerity without winking at it is harder than playing menace.

Since 2021 she has been directing. Four features sit on her credits behind the camera, including two Christmas pictures released in the same year, a true-crime film in 2025 and another dated 2026. Moving into directing at the television-movie level is the standard exit route from a jobbing acting career in Canadian production, and she started early enough, and stayed busy enough in front of the camera, that it reads as an actual second discipline rather than a hedge.
