DOLLY LEWIS

Tess Avery in “Sight Unseen”

Dolly Lewis stars as Tess Avery, a top homicide detective who loses her vision, in The CW’s new series “Sight Unseen.”

Lewis sheds light on sight divergence as she makes her on-screen debut in the lead role of detective “Tess Avery” in “Sight Unseen.” An actress and jazz singer based in New York, Lewis landed the role from among hundreds of submissions from sight-divergent actors across Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia.

Her lived experience with visual divergence brings depth to the role of “Tess” and she is excited to advocate for those with sight loss through her work as an actress.

Dolly received a B.A. in Art History from Rutgers University and trained in acting at The Esper Studio.
