Career
Wever has appeared in the feature films Into the Wild, Neal Cassady, Michael Clayton, Series 7: The Contenders, Signs, The Adventures of Sebastian Cole, Bringing Rain, and All I Wanna Do, among others. She has guest starred on the TV shows Conviction, Law & Order: Criminal Intent and The Wire, among others. She also starred in Ed Zwick's ill-fated ABC pilot, 1/4life, with Rachel Blanchard, Austin Nichols, and Shiri Appleby. She had a recurring role on Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip as Suzanne.
Wever is arguably best known for her ongoing role as Zoey Barkow in the dark comedy series Nurse Jackie, which premiered on Showtime in June 2009.[1][2] Zoey—a highly competent but irrepressibly bubbly student nurse—serves as a comic foil to Edie Falco's hard-bitten (and prescription drug-addicted) titular character.
