In "Wicked Wicked Games" Jessie Ward
portrays Theodore's (Clive
Robertson's) oldest daughter Emma
who is the portrait of perfection -
beautiful, intelligent and charming.
Emma works for her father at The
Tides, overseeing the horse
trainers. Despite being logically
against notions of fate and true
love, she finds herself being
intensely drawn to Josh (David
Smith).
Ward is a classically trained
ballerina who began studying ballet
seriously at the age of nine. She
lived and studied at the School of
American Ballet as a teenager and
attended high school at the
Professional Children's School in
New York. Ward was chosen as the
highest scoring dancer in the United
States by Britain's Royal Academy of
Dancing, earning her a ballet
scholarship to study in England. She
has performed numerous solo and
principle roles with various
professional ballet companies and
her inspiration for the arts began
with dancing and evolved into a love
for acting.
Pursuing her acting career, Ward
left New York for Los Angeles, and
has appeared in numerous national
television commercials as well as
performing in a music video with
Jennifer Lopez. In March of 2006,
Ward landed a guest role as Brianna
on F/X network's, "It's Always Sunny
in Philadelphia" alongside Eddie
Mekka. "Wicked Wicked Games" marks
Ward's second appearance on
MyNetworkTV, having previously
played the role of Penelope on
"Desire."
Ward currently resides in Venice,
California, where she enjoys dancing
and photography.
