In the new horror film Incarnation, actress and model Jessica Uberuaga costars in the film along with actors Taye Diggs and Michael Madsen. Originally from Boise, Idaho, Jessica Uberuaga took the steps to begin acting and modeling after earning her undergraduate degree at Boise University. After being cast into her first film, she eventually moved to Los Angeles to advance her acting career. From her starring in her first film to her newest film Incarnation, Jessica Uberuaga’s most recognized projects include the television series Vigilante Diaries (HBO 2016) as the character Red, the film The Fanatic (Quiver 2019) alongside actor John Travolta, and the internationally released film Mind Blown (SyFy 2016). Her newest film Incarnation released February 18, 2022, explores the consequences of one’s own greed.
With a growing portfolio of television shows and movies, the career of acting and modeling, as Jessica Uberuaga describes, is never stable, “you’re constantly looking for the next thing.” As a newer actress in the Hollywood world of acting and modeling, the search for the “next thing” often leads many to feel unsatisfied. Upon her arrival to Los Angeles to encourage her career, Jessica Uberuaga admits to struggling with her own dreams, “coming out here to act, for example, is such a struggle. I think the human race as a whole struggles to make our dreams, the American dream, the human dream, whatever it is come true that we almost become a slave to that dream.” Earning roles in film and television is a difficult task as roles aren’t solely based on how an actor or actress portrays the character, but also if the character fits the actor or actress. Although recommended for other roles in different projects, Jessica Uberuaga rejected a variety of roles because of the uncertainty on her abilities to act on a character that doesn’t necessarily fit her own personality. Character roles, as Jessica Uberuaga notes, “characters kind of choose you, for whatever reason we all have roles that’ll come our way.” In the surplus of television shows and movies that feature Jessica Uberuaga, you’ll often find her as the strong female character. Next up for Jessica is the TV series Salvage Marines, streaming soon on Crackle TV.
In Incarnation, Jessica Uberuaga plays the character Jess, the wife to Taye Diggs’s character Brad. Jess (Uberuaga) is the sweet wife with a sharp backbone to Brad (Diggs), the “pillar of strength” husband. The struggling young couple hoping to achieve the American Dream, move into their own home to begin the rest of their lives. However, the young couple not only face the difficulties of moving into a new home but also encounter a demonic spirit that possesses their new home. Although excited upon stumbling across the “hidden gem” of a home fit to satisfy their American Dream, the supernatural actions of the demonic spirit help Jess (Uberuaga) and Brad (Diggs) realize that the path to wealth often comes with a catch. Jessica Uberuaga describes the film’s objective on defining dreams with the main characters Jess (Uberuaga) and Brad (Diggs) achieving the opposite of their desired dream, “Sometimes our dreams become all encompassing, we get caught up in material stuff and try to win so hard.” To avoid spoilers, catch Jessica Uberuaga alongside Taye Diggs in their newly released horror film Incarnation.
