Carrie Anne-Moss has developed a nice career thanks to both movie and television roles. Most people know her from the Matrix trilogy as well as Christopher Nolan's breakout movie Memento. Newer fans might know her best from the Marvel Netflix shows, as she was a co-star on Jessica Jones.
Over 29 years in the industry, Anne-Moss starred in 39 movies and has a new Matrix coming up in 2022. She also added roles in 26 different TV shows and has a very successful career for someone who remains best known for one sci-fi movie trilogy. However, there is a lot more to the actress than that, with some surprising appearances many fans might not know about.
10 Matrix (1993)
While everyone knows that Carrie Anne-Moss starred in The Matrix, what those fans might not know is that she also starred in a TV show called Matrix.
Released in 1993, six years before she appeared in the movie of the same name, Anne-Moss was one of the main characters in the fantasy series about a former hitman named Steven Matrix who was killed during a job and was sent back to Earth to atone for all the murders he committed.
9 Baywatch
From 1989-1999, there might not be a more popular show than Baywatch, with David Hasselhoff becoming a major star and actresses like Pamela Anderson, Carmen Electra, Erika Eleniak, and Alexandra Paul. There were also several guest star appearances throughout the years, including a 1994 appearance by Carrie Anne-Moss.
This was the season four episode "Mirror Mirror," where Anne-Moss played a pair of twin sisters, now plain and one beautiful, both vying for Mitch's attention.
8 Chocolat (2000)
Based on the novel by the same name, Chocolat is a 2000 film by director Lasse Hallstrom. The movie stars Juliette Binoche as a chocolatier who travels to a French village and opens up a chocolate shop, much to the mayor's (Alfred Molina) displeasure.
When people eat the chocolates, they start to lose their inhibitions. Carrie Anne-Moss stars as a devoutly pious woman who is one of the townspeople who disapprove of the new chocolatier in town.
7 Red Planet (2000)
In 2000 and 2001, Mards was big in Hollywood, but audiences didn't seem to care. In 2001, John Carpenter made Ghosts of Mars, and it was a box office flop. At least some movie fans remember that one. The year before, Red Planet came out, and it ended up as both a critical and box office failure.
Val Kilmer was only a few years gone since he played Batman, and Carrie Anne-Moss was one year out of her role in The Matrix. The film takes place in the future, and Anne-Moss played the commander of a spacecraft exploring Mars to find her crew attacked by Martian insects.
6 Disturbia (2007)
The same year that Shia LeBeouf picked up the lead role in Michael Bay's Transformers, he also appeared in a much lower-key movie. D.J. Caruso directed a loose reimagining of the Hitchcock classic Rear Window with Disturbia.
LaBeouf ended up under house arrest after assaulting his teacher and starts to spy on a neighbor, who he thinks might be a serial killer. Carrie Anne-Moss plays his mother, who finds her life in danger when her son proves to be right.
5 Fido (2006)
In 2006, the Canadian horror-comedy Fido arrived and flew under the radar, despite being one of the smartest indie zombie movies ever made. The movie starts after the zombie apocalypse ended, and humans won.
A company known as ZomCom created collars that domesticated zombies and they were then used as servents. Carrie Anne-Moss plays Helen, a mother who buys a zombie despite her husband fearing them. When a zombie's collar malfunctions, and it starts to kill again, the entire city is thrown into turmoil.
4 Forever Knight
In 1992, Carrie Anne-Moss appeared in the vampire detective series Forever Knight. For those who missed out on the show, the series is about an 800-year-old vampire named Nick Knight, who works as a cop on the graveyard shift and focuses on supernatural cases.
Early in her career, Carrie Anne-Moss appeared in the Season 1 episode "Feeding the Beast." The episode had Nick going undercover, and when he tries to stop drinking blood, he has to find a way to control his urges. Carrie Anne-Moss is Monica, the sponsor of a victim in AA, and had something to do with the killer Nick is investigating.
3 Silent Hill: Revelation (2012)
In 2012, Carrie Anne-Moss starred in the sequel Silent Hill: Revelation. It might be easy to miss out on Moss in this movie. The film actually has some pretty big stars, with Sean Bean (a carryover from the first movie), Malcolm McDowell, and Kit Harrington, but was mostly forgettable.
As for Carrie Anne-Moss, she was under a lot of makeup as the main bad guy Claudia Wolf, the leader of the Order, a cult from Silent Hill.
2 Vegas
After The Shield went off the air, Michael Chiklis quickly moved on to a new series - a period drama called Vegas. Co-created by Nicholas Pileggi, the man who wrote the book that Goodfellas was based on, the series is about Vegas in the 1960s and follows a sheriff played by Dennis Quaid as he deals with a mobster played by Chiklis.
Carrie Anne-Moss has a large role in the series as Katherine O'Connell, the district attorney.
1 The Bye Bye Man (2017)
The Bye Bye Man was a horror movie that hit in 2017 about a demonic killer called The Bye Bye Man who shows up to kill anyone who says his name. When three college students move into a house and find information about this entity, they push fate, and as expected, people start to die.
Carrie Anne-Moss plays a police detective who starts to investigate the murders, originally suspecting the college students of the killings.
