Tessa Thompson Biography

Tessa Thompson is a versatile actress known for her dynamic performances in film, television, and theater. She began her career in theater before making her television debut in 2005 on the series "Cold Case." She gained broader recognition for her role as Jackie Cook in the cult-favorite TV series "Veronica Mars."

Thompson's breakthrough came with her role in the 2014 critically acclaimed film 'Dear White People," where she played Samantha White, a sharp-tongued college student navigating racial tensions at a predominantly white Ivy League university. That same year, she delivered a standout performance as Diane Nash, a key figure in the Civil Rights Movement, in "Selma."

Thompson became a global star when she joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Valkyrie, debuting in "Thor: Ragnarok," a role she reprised in "Avengers: Endgame" and "Thor: Love and Thunder." Her portrayal of the fierce, independent warrior received praise for bringing more representation to the superhero genre.

Beyond her blockbuster success, Thompson has been lauded for her work in smaller, character-driven films such as "Creed" and "Creed II," where she played Bianca, the love interest of Adonis Creed and a singer dealing with progressive hearing loss. She also earned acclaim for her role in the sci-fi film "Sorry to Bother You," where she portrayed an artist and activist.

Known for her advocacy for diversity and representation in Hollywood, Thompson has become a significant voice in the industry, working both in front of and behind the camera as a producer on projects such as the Amazon series 'Sylvie's Love."
