Jessica Alexander

Born on June 19, 1999, in Westminster, London, Jessica Alexander is a British actress and model who began her acting career at the age of five in local church hall productions. She started auditioning for films at 14, making her debut in the short film Necktie (2013), and later gained international recognition for her breakout role as Olivia Hayes in the BBC/Netflix teen thriller series Get Even (2020). Her career progressed into feature films with leading roles in the dystopian thriller Glasshouse and the psychological horror A Banquet (both 2021), before she achieved significant mainstream fame as Vanessa, the human alter-ego of Ursula, in Disney’s live-action The Little Mermaid (2023). In 2025, she was also cast in the lead role of Lucinda "Luce" Price in the series Fallen, based on the popular Lauren Kate novels. In the 2026 natural horror film Primate, Alexander plays Hannah, a friend of the protagonist, Lucy. Her character is introduced as a "third wheel" on a summer trip to Hawaii, where her blossoming chemistry with a fellow traveler, Nick, creates initial social tension within the group. This drama is quickly overshadowed by a fight for survival when the family's pet chimpanzee becomes rabid and begins hunting them. Beyond her acting work, Alexander is a successful model represented by Next and United Agents, and she has been featured as a "Bright Young Thing" by Tatler.
