Mel Jarnson

Biography

Melanie Jarnson is a Thai-Australian actress who has rapidly become a go-to talent for major action and video game adaptations. Born in Bangkok and raised across Thailand, India, and Belgium, she is trilingual (English, French, Thai) and known for her physical dedication to roles. In 2026, she achieves a rare cinematic milestone: she becomes the first actor to appear in both major fighting game film franchises. She stars as the fan-favorite operative Cammy White in the live-action reboot of "Street Fighter" (October 16, 2026). This follows her previous role as the vampire Nitara in the 2021 live-action Mortal Kombat. Her casting as Cammy was widely celebrated by fans, particularly due to her background in physical performance and her "killer killer" instinct displayed in previous action roles. Beyond blockbusters, she is also set to star in the survival thriller "Killer Whale" (2026), appearing alongside Virginia Gardner.
