What else has Julia Garner been in?

The first time people started talking about the Jewish American actress was after she appeared on the show The Americans with Keri Russell and Matthew Rhys. She also appeared on the show Dirty John and in the TV mini-series Maniac. But it wasn’t until Garner — whom you may also recognize as she is married to Foster the People’s Mark Foster — auditioned for the role of Ruth opposite Jason Bateman and Laura Linney as Marty and Wendy Byrde that she felt in her bones this was the part for her.
“[The Ozark producers] gave me mock scenes. I remember thinking, just from those scenes, that this character [Ruth] is unbelievable. I have to get this part,” the star told Screen Daily. She added, “I am good at letting things go. You have to be in this business. But this part, I couldn’t let it go. I am not a competitive person. I am only competitive with myself, not with others. But if I saw somebody else get this part, I was going to have a hard time watching it.” The good news is that never came to pass and Garner is nailing the role of Ruth Langmore three seasons in.
