Jasmine Batchelor plays Jess in Jeremy Hersh’s The Surrogate, and is also an Associate Producer on the film, which is released by Monument Releasing on June 12. She is from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and Atlanta, Georgia. After discovering a love for acting in high school, Jasmine went on to study acting at Wright State University and The Juilliard School. Recent television credits include New Amsterdam, NCIS: New Orleans, The Good Fight, The Affair, Law & Order: SVU and Miss 2059. In addition to film and television, Jasmine’s recent theater credits include projects at Manhattan Theatre Club, The Playwrights Realm, The Public Theater, Two River Theater, and Baltimore Center Stage. In his December 2019 New York Times review of Measure For Measure at the Public Theater, Jose Solís wrote, “Batchelor, whose expressive face recalls the oft-doomed heroines played by Lillian Gish, turns in an Isabella for the ages.”
