Juliette Lewis Has Had a Successful Run in Television
The actor is no stranger to television, pictured above in the Showtime hit series Yellowjackets. Juliette Lewis plays the adult version of Natalie in the series. Natalie is resilient and crass when she needs to be. Juliette Lewis will play another strong-willed character in the Hulu limited series Immigrant. Lewis has been praised for her performance in the films Cape Fear, Natural Born Killers, and Whip It. She has shown her acting chops repeatedly and is the lead singer of the band Juliette and The Licks. Lewis is perfect for the role of Denise, as shown in her many years of playing hardy characters. She may be a supporting character to Nanjiani, but supporting roles have never dimmed Lewis’ light. On top of starring in Yellowjackets, Lewis was in Breaking News In Yuba County with Mila Kunis, Allison Janney, Regina Hall, and Awkwafina.
The Hulu limited series Immigrant is in production with no official release date.
