Dumont played Jackie, Robert Oppenheimer's sister-in-law, in Oppenheimer. They previously appeared in Marvel's The Gifted TV series, Paul Thomas Anderson's Licorice Pizza and NBC's Aquarius with David Duchovny.
While starring in the series Bunheads in 2012, Dumont opened up to Beautylish about their early experiences as a model.
"A lot of girls think it looks so glamorous, but it’s not like we’re roaming around drinking champagne and eating caviar all day," they admitted. "It’s just like going to work. I could be working at Starbucks, or working at a restaurant, or on a tv show. It’s just a job for me but at the same time, it’s great to be part of such a crazy awesome world where everyone’s an artist. It’s so cool and fun and I’ve met some amazing characters."
Dumont will be appearing in the upcoming horror thriller New Me, which doesn't yet have a release date.
