Jennifer Riker is an accomplished and versatile American actress best recognised for her recurring role in the Warner Bros/DC Entertainment superhero drama series ‘Black Lightning’.  Featuring prominently throughout Series 2 & 3, she played the brilliant but complex Dr. Helga Jace, a morally ambiguous scientist and geneticist who is imprisoned for her illegal experiments.  

She has had roles in many top US shows including post-apocalyptic horror series ‘The Walking Dead’ (AMC), horror anthology drama series ‘The Purge’ (USA Network), political thriller series ‘House of Cards’ (Netflix) and the Emmy-nominated country music drama series ‘Nashville’ (ABC/CMT).

Earlier in her career she also guest starred as villanous con artist Sue Vaughn in ABC crime drama series ‘Castle’ and played an alien-obsessed business woman in the Emmy-winning comedy series ‘Monk’.  She also had  roles in ‘Law and Order: Los Angeles’, Emmy-nominated FBI drama series ‘Criminal Minds’, and the multiple Emmy-winning 1960s ad-land drama series ‘Mad Men’.

She has extensive experience in audiobook and documentary narration and is the lead narrator for kids podcast series ‘Otter Space’. 

Jennifer speaks with a standard neutral American accent but she can turn her hand to all American accents, in particular the North East region (New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania) where she grew up and lived for many years.  She has Latvian heritage and can deliver a convincing Russian accent. She is skilled at picking up accents quickly.
