About

Elisabeth Moss can next be seen starring in THE FREE WORLD, a drama from director Jason Lew also starring Boyd Holbrook, which premiered at the 2016 Sundance International Film Festival, and in HIGH-RISE, a film directed by Ben Wheatley also starring Tom Hiddleston, Sienna Miller and Jeremy Irons, which will be released in April. She has also completed work on THE SEAGULL, directed by Michael Mayer, also starring Corey Stoll, Annette Bening and Saoirse Ronan, and on THE BLEEDER, a film also starring Liev Schreiber about the true-life tale of underdog boxer, Chuck Wepner, who improbably pushed world champ Muhammad Ali to the limit in their 1975 title fight. Later this month, Moss will begin production on MAD TO BE NORMAL, a biopic starring David Tennant as acclaimed Scottish psychiatrist, RD Laing, and will begin production this Spring on the second installment of the critically-acclaimed miniseries TOP OF THE LAKE with Jane Campion.

Moss’s additional film credits include TRUTH, with Cate Blanchett and Robert Redford (Toronto Film Festival 2015); QUEEN OF EARTH, written and directed by Alex Ross Perry (Berlin Film Festival 2015); MEADOWNLAND, directed by Reed Morano and starring Olivia Wilde; THE ONE I LOVE, in which she starred with Mark Duplass (Sundance Film Festival 2014); LISTEN UP PHILIP, directed by Alex Ross Perry and starring Jason Schwartzman (Sundance Film Festival 2014); Walter Salles’s adaptation of the classic Jack Kerouac novel ON THE ROAD, GET HIM TO THE GREEK, THE MISSING, GIRL INTERRUPTED, MUMFORD, A THOUSAND ACRES, and VIRGIN, for which she was nominated for an Independent Spirit Award for Best Actress. 

On television, Moss played the iconic role of Peggy Olson on the award-winning series “Mad Men,” earning six Emmy Award nominations, a Golden Globe nomination, and two Screen Actors Guild Award nominations for her performance.  Moss’s additional television credits include Jane Campion’s highly-acclaimed miniseries TOP OF THE LAKE, for which she received Golden Globe and Critics Choice TV Awards for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Movie or Miniseries as well as Emmy and SAG Award nominations in the same category, and Aaron Sorkin’s critically-praised and award-winning drama, “The West Wing,” on which she played ‘Zoey Bartlett,’ daughter to Martin Sheen’s president. 

Earlier this year, Moss starred on Broadway in The Heidi Chronicles, a Broadway revival of Wendy Wassterstein’s Pulitzer and Tony Award-winning play, for which Moss’s performance as the title character earned her Tony, Drama League and Outer Critics Circle Award nominations.  Moss’s additional theater credits include The Children’s Hour in London’s West End opposite Keira Knightley, the Broadway revival of David Mamet’s Speed the Plow opposite William H Macy and her New York theater debut at the Atlantic Theater Company in Franny’s Way.
