Jones is currently starring in Luise Miller at the Donmar Warehouse. Her other stage credits include The Chalk Garden and That Face. On screen, she has appeared in such films as Julie Taymor’s The Tempest and Doremus’ Like Crazy, for which she won the Sundance Film Festival Jury Prize.

Ryan received Tony nominations for Uncle Vanya and A Streetcar Named Desire, and an Academy Award nomination, among numerous other honors, for Gone Baby Gone. Her other film credits include Jack Goes Boating, Dan in Real Life, and Changeling. In addition she has starred in the HBO series The Wire.
