Gorgeous and spirited, Jill Wagner made her first mark on Hollywood when she was cast as the first female regular sketch performer on MTV’s hit television series “Punk’d.” Following that she guest starred in scripted series television in roles including “Monk” and “Quintuplets,” and had a recurring role on “Dr. Vegas.” She also appeared in Sony feature film “Guess Who,” as well as in the independent features “June Bug,” “Forgotten” and “Shifted.” She was the female lead in the television series “Blade,” based on the successful feature film franchise that starred Wesley Snipes. Most recently Wagner starred in the award-winning horror film, “Splinter.”
In April of 2005 Wagner was named the new Lincoln Mercury spokesperson. The popular commercials in which she stars have become a very effective campaign for Ford Motor Company’s Mercury brand and have afforded her great recognition in American households.
Wagner was born and raised in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. She attended Ledford High School and went on to attend North Carolina State University, where she graduated summa cum laude in business. After college she made the move to Los Angeles on a hunch (not knowing anyone) and quickly obtained a television and film manager. Her hobbies include singing, songwriting and dream analysis. Her fascination with dreams started at the age of ten, when she began her dream journal which she continues to maintain.
