Jenny Pellicer, a woman of many identities, is a true embodiment of the phrase "Smart. Sexy. Savvy." Born and raised in Oslo, Norway, to a Norwegian-American mother and a Mexican diplomat father, Pellicer is a true embodiment of multiculturalism in a way that is both refreshing and exciting to Hollywood.
Pellicer's acting career is a testament to her versatility and range. She has explored her Mexican side as Romina, a drug-addicted daughter of a rich politician heavily involved with the drug cartels, in the FX Network series "The Bridge". Conversely, she has played Lise, a classy Norwegian reporter, in the forthcoming film "Untitled Gerardo Naranjo Film".
What sets Pellicer apart from other actresses is her ability to speak four languages and hold three passports. This unique skillset has allowed her to book roles that are both interesting and challenging. Additionally, her natural beauty, including her green eyes, blonde hair, and wholesome appearance, has undoubtedly played a part in her success.
Before becoming an actress, Pellicer had a substantial education and career. She graduated valedictorian from an international school in Oslo and spent time working for the Ministry of Health in Costa Rica to combat the spread of dengue fever. She then went on to earn a law degree with a specialty in International Human Rights from Durham University in the UK.
After completing her education, Pellicer moved to London and worked for Newsweek magazine. She later moved to Mexico to help her relatives start a successful restaurant business. It was during this time that she rekindled her passion for acting, surrounded by a supportive family steeped in the arts.
Pellicer's family has a rich history in the arts, with her uncle being the renowned poet Carlos Pellicer Camara and her aunts being actresses themselves. Her aunt Pina Pellicer is a renowned actress, known for her work in films such as "One-Eyed Jacks" with Marlon Brando and "Captain from Castile" with Tyrone Power.
After rekindling her passion for acting, Pellicer moved to Los Angeles and met with a childhood friend from Norway. The two went to dinner with her friend's dad and his close friend, who just so happened to be a talent manager. Despite the manager's initial attempts to discourage her from pursuing an acting career, Pellicer's talent and dedication eventually won him over, and he signed her to his agency.
Pellicer's career has taken off quickly, with her booking recurring roles on "The Bridge" and "State of Affairs", as well as the forthcoming film "Untitled Gerardo Naranjo Film". Her ability to bring her cross-cultural comfort to each character she plays has made her a standout in the industry.
