Marie Jarret Bajoran on The Mentalist
Gender:
Female
Born:

Birthplace:
La Jolla, California, USA
Birth Name:
Zoe McLellan
One of Hollywood's rising stars, Zoe McLellan was born and raised in Seattle, Washington, and was able to explore professional acting without leaving home. She made her first appearance on an episode of America's Most Wanted. Soon after, she landed her first big movie as 'Girl Number Two' opposite Richard Dreyfuss in the award-winning Mr. Holland's Opus. All roads pointed to Hollywood and on her first day in Los Angeles, she auditioned and won the role of 'Girl Number Three' in Inventing the Abbotts. Things looked good.



More It wasn't long before McLellan began working non-stop in a string of leading roles with more diversity and scope. These included an expansive range of characters from the schizophrenic biologist in the feature Total Stranger, to the weak and fearful hostage in NBC's Home Invasion and as the tough detective with a death wish in the pilot spin-off of Diagnosis Murder.

Science fiction producers can't get enough of McLellan. Fans will remember her as the evil alternate version of Quinn Mallory on the series Sliders, her recurring appearances as the insecure crew member on Star Trek: Voyager, and her current recurring role of the brilliant but mysterious young scientist Kate Easton on Scifi's Invisible Man. Back in the real world, she starred as the loving and supportive girlfriend in the indie feature Stonebrook opposite Seth Green and Brad Rowe. McLellan is grateful for the tremendous range of roles that she has been given the opportunity to play in just four short years.

In 2007, Zoe was cast as Lisa George, the wife of Peter Krause' character, in the ABC dramedy Dirty Sexy Money. McLellan lives in Los Angeles, where between acting assignments she loves hiking, camping and Bikram Yoga.

    There are no Zoe fans out there? Surprising. I loved what she added to the later season of JAG with her character Petty Officer Jen Coates. In fact I enjoyed it so much I decided to watch the entire series of Dirty Sexy Money and was not disappointed. Check her out, she is outstanding.

    An abysmal actress getting by on what others call a pretty face. . . hide show

    Honestly, an awful actress, at least what I have seen on her on JAG and other episodic television. I cringed when she came onto the screen in JAG, and by the end of the series, every time she showed up, I was throwing things at the screen. They ruined it by bringing that particular character back. It should have been a one-shot deal and we would never see her again. Huge mistake keeping her around and letting the much more interesting characters of Chegwidden, Tiner, and Harriet leave. Sorry. She completely ruined a show that I dearly loved.

    I sat next to her in high school geometry! hide show

    It's so neat to see Zoe on this television show. After some...shall we say "not so memorable" movie appearances, (Dungeons and Dragons) it looks like she's really hit her stride playing Lisa on DIRTY SEXY MONEY. She's just as good--if not better--than her big name cast mates. Before Dirty Sexy Money, she spent 2 seasons with a prominent role on JAG. Who knew back in the day that the homecoming queen from SK High School class of '92 would be acting along side Donald Sutherland someday? It's been cool to watch her in films or on the small screen and say, "I knew her when..."
    Good for you, Zoe!

    Talented Enough to appear in more places than she does. hide show

    We mostly remember her from the entertaining enough but forgettable Dungeons and Dragons movie, but Zoe McLellan is the sort of actress that should have done much better than she has. She has a gorgeous dishy figure and a good talent with face and eyes. In D&D she played the snobby Marina who later realizes she loves the dashing thief. Her role was a bit simple but she added fun to it with a nice range of non-verbal expression. I wonder why she has not done more because Hollywood loves beautiful women with some acting chops and she qualifies. Zoe also has a face than play older or younger which is quite useful in terms of versatility. McLellan is definitely an underused talent who is capable of much more. She would make a great Soap Opera actress, combining gorgeous with the emotional range needed for such jobs.

    She is marvellous. hide show

    Seen her really well for the first time in the TV series "Dirty Sexy Money" where she blows of the screen. In the IMDB I have seen her with long hair, thank good she took the step to cut it. In DSM she plays the wife of the family lawyer and keeps him sane in the world of power and money. Without her he would drown without knowing it just like his father. She plays a very good character and plays convincingly. Hope to see her more in series and films as long as does not grow back her hair long.
