Jessica Tuck

With a career spanning several decades and a multitude of genres, Jessica Tuck became one of the most prolific actors working in television, beginning with her breakout role as Megan Gordon on "One Life to Live" (1968-2013). Tuck portrayed the conniving Gordon for four years on the long-running soap, before appearing in numerous guest spots on widely popular shows like "Seinfeld" (NBC 1989-98), "Picket Fences" (CBS 1992-96), and "NYPD Blue" (ABC 1993-2005) throughout the 1990s. After six seasons playing controlling housewife Gillian Gray on the family drama "Judging Amy" (CBS 1999-2005), Tuck landed her highest profile role to date as the vampire politician Nan Flanagan on HBO's "True Blood" (2008-14). The success of that show allowed Tuck to broaden her fan base beyond the loyal soap opera world, while simultaneously exposing her work to an entirely new generation of avid television fans.
