Elizabeth Mitchell

As an Emmy-nominee for her starring role on ABC’s phenomenon Lost, Elizabeth Mitchell’s ascent is anything but off-course. Her role as Juliet proved to be considerable intrigue to viewers during the course of the series, as well as an opportunity for fans to place where they have seen her before. She re-teamed with creator JJ Abrams in yet another power-house role of “Rachel” on his drama vehicle, NBC’s Revolution, and then transitioned into the role of Snow Queen on ABC’s Once Upon a Time, followed by Netflix’s international drama, Crossing Lines with Donald Sutherland. She reunited with her Snow Queen character creator on Freeform’s sci-fi mystery series Dead of Summer, enjoyed a memorable arc on SyFy’s The Expanse, and assumed the lead role in Universal’s blockbuster The Purge: Election Year opposite Frank Grillo.

In addition to her role as lead protagonist on Seasons 2 & 3 of the Netlfix original series, Outer Banks (February ’23 Season 3 Premiere), she joined the cast of yet another Netflix series, First Kill, from producer Emma Roberts which ranked amongst the top of the streamer’s original series, has been recurring on FBI: International, and reprises her role as Mrs. Clause to Tim Allen in Disney+’s The Santa Clauses limited series which picks up where the last two film installments left off and has been piked up for a second season.

Whether portraying Santa’s better half or time-traveling alongside the likes of Dennis Quaid in New Line’s Frequency, Mitchell has lent her ability to an impressive and diverse range of roles. Most notably as girlfriend of Angelina Jolie in her portrayal of supermodel Gia in the Golden Globe-winning HBO telefilm. She also starred opposite Dane Cook in the indie drama Answers to Nothing, and reunited with her Santa Clause co-star Ann-Margret in Queen Bees which also stars Ellen Burstyn and James Caan among others. Additionally, she stars in and produced the SXSW indie feature, Witch Hunt, When Time Got Louder which premiered at the San Francisco Frameline Festival. And the Sundance feature, Aliens Abducted My Parents and Now I Feel Kinda Left Out.

Other credits include Neil LaBute’s Nurse Betty opposite Renee Zellweger, a 14-episode arc as Dr. Kim Legaspi on John Wells’ ER, Wayne Kramer’s Running Scared with Paul Walker, NBC’s critically acclaimed Lyon’s Den with Rob Lowe, and in the BBC series Man and Boy opposite Ioan Gruffudd. Further solidifying her course on the fast-track was her role opposite Barry Pepper as Teresa Earnhardt in the ESPN original telefilm 3: The Dale Earnhardt Story, and ABC’s V drama; based upon the popular ‘80s alien invasion mini series, which was the highest rated debut of a series since Lost. Born in Los Angeles and raised in Dallas, Mitchell transitioned from a performing arts high school to a BFA degree in Acting. She further honed her craft at the renowned Dallas Theatre Company. Her stage credits include productions of “As You Like It,” “A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum,” and “Chicago.” She currently splits her time between Los Angeles and Seattle.
