Jill Adler

Actor · Born May 5, 1970 (56)

Jill Adler hails from Encino, Calif. and has been conquering the world of entertainment one role at a time. But she's not just a one-trick pony. She's also an accomplished skier, rock climber, and cowgirl, with an intense love for all things outdoors. When she's not on set bringing characters to life, Jill can be found tearing up the slopes as a professional skier, exploring new trails, and traveling the west in a mini camper van. But don't be fooled by her tough exterior. Not only adept at playing detectives, lawyers, doctors and nosy neighbors, she also enjoys broken and vulnerable characters who manage to triumph. This smart lady has both a masters degree in broadcast from USC and a law degree from the University of Utah and has spun this education into a side career as an anchor/reporter for KSL Newsradio in SLC and an influencer with a popular YouTube channel and blog called Ski Play Live, where she shares her adventures. Jill's appearances in popular Hallmark and Lifetime Christmas movies like 12 Gifts of Christmas and Hot Chocolate Holiday, keep her busy in Utah. She's also graced the screen in Yellowstone as a newscaster and played Rachel Skarsden's mom in Timeless Love. Through it all, Jill remains grounded; using her outside interests to inform her work and bring a fresh perspective to each role. With a quick wit, a love for taking direction, and a talent for memorization, she's quickly becoming a force to be reckoned with in the industry. So, whether she's shredding the slopes or bringing characters to life on screen, Jill is always ready for the next adventure.

Percentiles are each film's standing among all films on MovieCove; the typical film is the median, so one outlier cannot drag it. Percentiles and reviewer scores count the films IMDb credits them on, for now; the Midcredits score bands, the shape of the crowd and the two cards count their MovieCove titles, shows included (a show ranked among shows), appearances as themselves left out. A descriptor is the shape of a title's IMDb rating distribution against the catalog; "most divisive" needs a spread wider than half of all titles, and a card names only a principal credit: a craft role, and on a show a crew role or a run of episodes, never a courtesy credit or a one-off guest spot.
