Mallory Jansen is an Australian-British actress, born and raised in Melbourne, Australia. She recently starred in FOX's ballet themed dramedy series "The Big Leap" from 20th Television Studio, produced by Liz Heldens, Sue Nagle, and Jason Winer.
Jansen studied drama in New York at Stella Adler and T. Schreiber Studios, where she was coached by some of the world's best acting, accent, analysis, method, and film teachers. After completing her studies, she returned to Australia, where she quickly scored roles on a string of mini-series hits.
Her breakout role was playing supermodel Helena Christensen on "Never Tear Us Apart: The Untold Story of INXS," which made a name for her in Australian TV. Upon moving to Los Angeles, she immediately landed a recurring role in Freeform's "Young & Hungry" and shortly followed by another recurring role on Freeform's hit show "Baby Daddy."
Mallory then went on to play the starring role of Madalena in ABC's medieval musical comedy series "Galavant," written and created by Dan Fogelman. The series featured live musical performances by Mallory from award-winning composer and Broadway legend, Alan Menken.
Jansen garnered critical acclaim for her portrayal of the sharp-tongued and hilariously evil Queen. After wrapping the second season of "Galavant," she landed a lead role in ABC's large-scale drama "Triangle" and the fourth season of ABC's hit series "Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D."
Throughout her career, she has made numerous TV appearances, including "This Is Us," "American Housewife," and the recurring role of Special Agent Margo James in Mark Wahlberg's action-packed drama "Shooter" on USA Network.
