Biography
After a string of accolades for her performance in the gritty indie DOWN TO THE BONE, Vera Farmiga will next be seen in Martin Scorsese’s police drama, THE DEPARTED. Farmiga stars opposite Matt Damon, Leonardo DiCaprio and Jack Nicholson, playing a police psychiatrist torn between two men, apparently on opposite sides of the law.
Farmiga completed the independent thriller JOSHUA, starring opposite Sam Rockwell for director George Ratliff and ATO Pictures. She plays a mother whose son's out-of-control behavior destroys her family. Prior to that, she shot IN TRANSIT opposite John Malkovich and Thomas Kretschmann in St. Petersburg for director Tom Roberts and Thema. Set in the ruins after the siege of Leningrad, Farmiga plays a young Russian army nurse who is torn between her duty to her country and her connection to another human being.
Farmiga also stars in QUID PRO QUO, for first-time director Carlos Brooks, and producers Jason Kliot and Joana Vicente (COFFEE AND CIGARETTES; CHUCK AND BUCK) and Midge Sanford and Sarah Pillsbury (HOW TO MAKE AND AMERICAN QUILT). She plays a woman who guides a wheelchair-bound NPR reporter played by Nick Stahl on a journey into the strange subculture of “pretenders,” able-bodied people who go to great lengths to live as though they were physically disabled.
Farmiga won the “Best Actress” award from the Los Angeles Film Critics’ Association for her performance in the independent film DOWN TO THE BONE, a revelatory drama about a weary working-class mother trapped by drug addiction. Vera also won “Best Actress” awards from the Sundance Film Festival and the Marrakech Film Festival, as well as an Independent Spirit Award nomination.
She was previously seen opposite Meryl Streep and Denzel Washington, playing Liev Schreiber’s ex-girlfriend and Jon Voight’s daughter in THE MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE for director Jonathan Demme. Additional film credits include: DUMMY, opposite Adrien Brody; LOVE IN THE TIME OF MONEY, with Michael Imperioli and Adrian Grenier; FIFTEEN MINUTES, co-starring Robert DeNiro and Edward Burns; AUTUMN IN NEW YORK, with Winona Ryder and Richard Gere; and THE OPPORTUNISTS, opposite Christopher Walken.
