Merritt Wever Career

Career

Wever began her acting in low budget, independent short and feature films. She has appeared in theater productions, including a role in Brooke Berman's play Smashing and Deidre O'Connell's Cavedweller, both off-Broadway. Wever has appeared in numerous television films, including: Into the Wild, Neal Cassady, Michael Clayton, The Adventures of Sebastian Cole, Bringing Rain, Tiny Furniture, and Many Things I Want To Do among others.

She has appeared on a variety of television shows, including New Girl, The Good Wife, Conviction, Law & Order: Criminal Intent and The Wire. She appeared in Ed Zwick's ill-fated pilot quarter, alongside Rachel Blanchard, Austin Nichols, and Shiri Appleby. Suzanne was also a regular guest on Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip as Suzanne.

Wever is perhaps best known for her role in Nurse Jackie, which premiered on Showtime in June 2009. On the official Nurse Jackie website, Zoey is portrayed as "an irrepressibly bubbly trauma nurse, who appears as a narcotic foil to Edie Falco's hard-bitten (and prescription drug-addicted) titular character. Wever was given acclaim for her appearance on the program.

Wever was nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series in 2012 and 2013, but for her role in Nurse Jackie, she received the award in 2013 and gave a moving speech that consisted solely of her stunned reaction: "Thanks so much." Thank you so much. I have to go. "Bye," says the author.

Denise Cloyd, a recurring presence on AMC's The Walking Dead, appeared on AMC's The Walking Dead in 2016. Many followers, most notably LGBT activists, were outraged by her character's death toward the end of the sixth season of the series on social media.

Mary Agnes McNue, a tenacious leader of a female-dominated town, was a central protagonist of the 2017 miniseries Godless. "I spent so much of this shooting feeling I would come off as a fool, that no one would buy me as this and it wouldn't be credible," she said in interviews. However, many observers also characterized her character as a highlight of the program. "No one is more electric than the always spectacular Merritt Wever" in Netflix's Godless, according to Entertainment Weekly's review of Godless "Merritt Wever." She received an Emmy award for her role in 2018.

Wever appeared in another Netflix miniseries Unbelievable, opposite Toni Collette and Kaitlyn Dever, released on September 13, 2019. With Wever's first Golden Globe Awards nomination for Best Actress-Miniseries or Television Film, the series received critical acclaim.

Wever first appeared in HBO's black comedy thriller series Run in 2020 alongside Domhnall Gleeson. After one season, it was cancelled.

"Tiny Beautiful Things" Author Cheryl Strayed Praises Reese Witherspoon For Amplifying Women's Stories

www.popsugar.co.uk, April 19, 2023
People often guess which actor they'd like to see in a film or TV show about their lives, but author Cheryl Strayed is the only one to have this happen twice. Reese Witherspoon leads her as she attempts to hike the Pacific Coast Trail alone in the 2014 film "Wild," based on her best-selling memoir. And in Hulu's latest film "Tiny Beautiful Things," based on Strayed's best-selling book of advice columns, Kathryn Hahn and Sarah Pidgeon team up to play a fictionalized version of Strayed named Clare. They were also produced by Witherspoon, which is something that links "Wild" and "Tiny Beautiful Things." "Wild" came from Witherspoon's old film company, Type A Films, while "Tiny Beautiful Things" is one of many of her Hello Sunshine productions. Strayed praises Witherspoon for one of "the women in Hollywood who have blazed a trail," when chatting with POPSUGAR.
