Given that both of her parents were actors, it was almost certain that Jessica Paré would also become an actor. Her father, Anthony Paré once taught drama and toured with a theatre company and her mother, Louise Mercier, a conference translator, acted in amateur productions. Paré played Jesus in a production of Godspell while attending Villa Maria, a private catholic girl`s high school in Montreal. She also studied drama at TheatreWorks and appeared in over half a dozen amateur theater productions as a teenager. Her professional career began during her last year of high school when she had a small part in the made-for-TV movie, Bonanno: A Godfathers Story. She played the role of Megan, Don Draper’s wife in 49 episodes of the hit US series, Mad Men. Singing on one episode of the show, her version of Zou bisou bisou became a hit download on Apple’s iTunes. She as played the role of Mandy Ellis on the series Seal Team since 2017.
