TV, Film & Stage

Constance in
The Constant Wife (Stage)

"Star quality was wholly justified in the casting of Paris Jefferson. Her performance a comic masterclass in timing and blithe indifference" by The Irish Times

Paris is an accomplished actress whose career spans television, film, and theatre, with critically acclaimed performances across the globe, including in the UK, USA, Canada, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, and France, among others.

On stage, she has played leading roles at The Gate Theatre in Dublin, one of Ireland’s most prestigious venues. Her performances there included the title role in Anna Karenina and Constance Middleton in The Constant Wife—roles in both drama and comedy that showcased her versatility and depth. The success of her work led to an invitation to reprise her portrayal of Constance at the renowned Spoleto Festival in the USA, further cementing her reputation as a compelling stage presence.

In television and film, Paris has appeared opposite some of the most respected names in the industry including Diane Lane, Adrian Lester, and Ellen Burstyn, among others. As Marla in Y: The Last Man, she received high praise from Vulture, TV Podcast Industries, and CNN Radio for her riveting portrayal of the First Lady on the brink of collapse.

Describing acting as akin to being a time traveller, Paris has portrayed characters set everywhere from 1870s Austria to 1960s New York City. She considers it a privilege to work with the countless talented people—both in front of and behind the camera—who bring these worlds to life.

Sarah in
A Will of Their Own (TV)

A Will of Their Own is a sweeping miniseries that follows generations of women fighting for independence and identity. In a standout supporting role, Ms. Jefferson is subtly more effective as Amanda's conventional, mistreated daughter, as noted by The New York Times. Her quiet strength brings a lasting emotional weight to the story.
