'The Handmaid's Tale' season 3: Elisabeth Moss is a natural when it comes to handpicking award-winning shows

After 'The West Wing' and 'Mad Men', Elisabeth Moss has consistently picked shows that are challenging and unique — including 'The Handmaid's Tale'
PUBLISHED MAR 11, 2019

Elisabeth Moss started working in TV shows in the 1990s and got her first film role in 1991. She has made some interesting choices since her days as an actor in the late 90s show 'The West Wing'. In that show, she played Zoey Bartlet, the youngest daughter of President Josiah Bartlet, and was featured prominently in comparison to the her sisters on the show. 'The West Wing' was probably Moss' big break as most of her memorable characters came after the show ended in 2006.

Over the years, Moss has come to be known for playing women who are earnest and driven — such as Peggy Olsen in 'Mad Men'.
