Sarah Jannett Parish

Sarah Jannett Parish, honestly, she’s a bit of a chameleon when it comes to the screen—one of those faces you spot and go, “Wait, I know her from somewhere,” but then it hits you. Mad Men, right? That’s probably where she first snuck into your subconscious, all smoky rooms and razor-sharp dialogue. But she’s not stuck in one groove. She switches gears like it’s nothing. In The Hours Till Daylight (2015), she dives straight into the kind of horror that’ll make you leave the lights on for a week. That film’s got this low-key, slow-burn dread, and Sarah? She owns it. She’s not just screaming in the background, she’s pulling the strings, making you wonder if maybe she’s more dangerous than anything lurking in the shadows. And then, swing over to Foxhole Live (2020), and she flips the script again. Totally different vibe—gritty, real, almost documentary-style, but with enough edge to keep you glued. She’s got this way of bringing characters to life where you feel like you could run into them at a bar or bump into them on the subway. There’s depth there, layers people don’t always notice at first glance. Maybe that’s her secret weapon—never being pigeonholed, always keeping you guessing. Whether she’s sliding into a period piece or something totally out-there, Sarah Jannett Parish brings something extra. Not showy, just real. Every role, she leaves a little piece of herself behind, and that’s what sticks with you.
