Acting

At the peak of her modeling career, Ritter began considering film acting and enrolled in acting classes. Soon she faced a choice between the two paths. "I was a model in my youth. That's how I got into film. So I'm no longer a model," she explained later.

In 2016, she received the Webby Award for Best Actress. She also starred in the Marvel crossover series The Defenders, released in August 2017, reprising her role as Jessica Jones.Jessica Jones is flawed, complex. She's not the kind of Supergirl dominating screens now. I consider this series primarily a psychological thriller, not a superhero movie. By the way, I can kick butt without a ridiculous costume.

I love Jessica Jones, but I don't want to play similar characters... In the first episode of 'Orphan Black: Echoes,' I do so many things I've never done before, and it shows a completely new side of me.
