Biography

Enfance et vie privée

Ses parents sont Marc et Valerie Ferland ; sa mère est d'ailleurs son manager. Elle est amie avec les acteurs Cameron Bright avec qui elle a joué dans Twilight, chapitre III : Hésitation, Jake D.

Carrière
Elle commence ainsi sa carrière à l'âge de deux ans, apparaissant dans des publicités, puis des séries, comme Cold Squad. Elle est révélée à quatre ans dans son premier film, La Sirène ; nettement remarquée, elle reçoit une proposition pour les Emmy Awards, faisant d'elle la plus jeune proposée de l'histoire, ainsi qu'une victoire aux Young Artist Award. Elle finit par déménager avec sa famille de l'île de Vancouver pour partir s'installer à Vancouver, ce qui a rendu les déplacements pour les auditions plus simples : Jodelle devait faire plusieurs déplacements par semaine en ferry pour se rendre à Vancouver, où sont implantées la plupart des agences.

Sa carrière évolue très vite, continuant d'apparaître puis joue dans plusieurs séries, comme Smallville, Stargate Atlantis, Dark Angel, John Doe, Aux frontières de l'étrange, ainsi que d'autres films tels que Trapped, Le Peuple des ténèbres ou encore Carrie. Puis en 2004, elle incarne le rôle de Mary Jensen, un fantôme hantant un hôpital dans la minisérie Kingdom Hospital, qui lui vaut une nouvelle proposition pour les Young Artist Award.

En 2005, elle est à l'affiche dans Tideland pour l'un de ses rôles les plus marquants, celui de Jeliza-Rose, une fillette qui, après la mort de ses parents, se réfugie dans un monde imaginaire. Elle reçoit une nouvelle fois bon nombre d'éloges et de propositions de récompenses pour sa prestation dans ce film. L'année suivante elle joue dans un autre succès, Silent Hill, adapté du célèbre jeu vidéo, où elle incarne les rôles de Sharon et Alessa. Depuis, elle est apparue dans de nombreux autres films et téléfilms, comme Les Messagers, Dessine-moi une famille, Le Cas 39, Wonderful World , Twilight, chapitre III : Hésitation, Une famille sous l'avalanche, Le Combat de ma fille, La Cabane dans les bois et The Secret.

Elle participe ensuite à Midnight Stallion, sorti directement en DVD début 2013, un film indépendant de Neptune, Red, une version revisitée du conte de Charles Perrault Le Petit Chaperon rouge ; un thriller de Alastair Paton, 400 Boys, et un court métrage, The Goodbye Girl.

Depuis 2015, elle interprète l'un des rôles principaux dans la série de science-fiction Dark Matter.

In the small town of Blithe Hollow, Massachusetts, Norman Babcock (Kodi Smit-McPhee) is an 11-year-old boy who speaks with the dead, including his late grandmother (Elaine Stritch) and various ghosts in town. Almost no one believes him and he is isolated emotionally from his family while being ridiculed by his peers. His friend, Neil Downe (Tucker Albrizzi), is an overweight boy who is bullied himself and finds in Norman a kindred spirit. During rehearsal of a school play commemorating the town's execution of a witch three centuries ago, Norman has a vision of the town's past in which he is pursued through the woods by townsfolk on a witch hunt. Afterward, the boys are confronted by his estranged and seemingly deranged uncle Mr. Prenderghast (John Goodman) who tells his nephew that he soon must take up his regular ritual to protect the town. Soon after this encounter, Prenderghast dies from a sudden stroke. During the official performance of the school play Norman has another vision, creating a public spectacle of himself which leads to his father (Jeff Garlin) grounding him. His mother (Leslie Mann) tells him that his father's stern manner is because he is afraid for him. The next day, Norman sees Prenderghast's spirit who tells him that the ritual must be performed with a certain book before sundown that day. Norman is at first reluctant to go because he is scared but his grandmother tells him it is all right to be scared as long as he does not let it change who he is. Norman sets off to retrieve the book from Prenderghast's house (having to take it from his corpse).
