Jessica Burgess

Jessica Burgess has one of those faces you swear you’ve seen before—maybe haunting the background of a true crime doc or throwing shade in some wild TV reenactment. She’s got a thing for diving headfirst into the dark, tangled stuff people usually avoid at dinner parties. In Rich & Shameless (2022), she wades through the world of greed, backstabbing, and the kind of secrets that make you side-eye your neighbors. It’s not just about flashy headlines, it’s about the mess behind them, and Jessica somehow nails that uneasy tension—part curiosity, part horror, all human. Jump to A Deadly American Marriage (2025), and she’s tangled in a story that’s about as far from a fairytale as you can get. Forget “happily ever after”—this one’s got betrayal, obsession, and a body count. Jessica’s the type who can walk you through a crumbling relationship and make you feel every gut punch. It’s not just drama, it’s the raw, ugly stuff that keeps you up at night, wondering how well you really know anyone. And then there’s American Monster (2016), where she shows up in stories that blur the line between everyday life and total nightmare fuel. You never know if the monster is under the bed or sitting across from you at the breakfast table, you know? Jessica’s performances have this knack for sucking you in, making you question what’s real and what’s just a really convincing act. She’s not just part of the story—she’s the reason you can’t look away.
