Every actor's career path is unique, but Molly Parker's is one that is particularly interesting to follow. She got her start on Canadian television, taking on a variety of roles both in TV series and made-for-TV movies. She made appearances in several TV shows, including Wes Craven's "Nightmare Cafe" and a Western teen drama called "Neon Rider." She guest starred in the popular series "Highlander," where she played an 18th century aristocrat named Alice Ramsey. Parker also acted in numerous TV movies throughout the '90s, like "My Son Johnny," "One More Mountain," "Contagious," and "Intensity."
Parker began taking on more big screen jobs in the mid-1990s, starting with the Tom Berenger and Barbara Hershey drama, "Last of the Dogmen," where she played a nurse. But it was in Canadian independent cinema that Parker found the majority of her work. Films such as "Under Heaven," "The Five Senses," "Looking for Leonard," and "Sunshine" are just some of the titles under her belt.
In the previously mentioned interview with "George Tonight," Parker admitted that she avoided Hollywood for a long time, uninterested in the glitz and glamor of the Los Angeles scene. However, it soon became "inevitable" that her career would steer her toward the City of Angels, and she eventually made her home there.
