Before transitioning to acting, Janssen worked as a fashion model for brands including Yves Saint Laurent, Chanel, and Victoria's Secret. She later studied creative writing and literature at Columbia University and attended an acting workshop before beginning her career in Hollywood with the film "Fathers & Sons."

Janssen gained international recognition for her role as Xenia Onatopp in the James Bond film "GoldenEye," establishing her as a prominent figure in the entertainment industry. She went on to appear in films such as "Rounders," "Celebrity," and "Love & Sex." Janssen is widely recognized for her portrayal of Dr. Jean Grey and Phoenix in the "X-Men" franchise, including "X2" and "X-Men: The Last Stand," for which she received a Saturn Award for Best Supporting Actress.

Throughout her career, Janssen has been noted for taking on complex and powerful roles in both independent and mainstream projects. Her television work includes roles in the Netflix series "Hemlock Grove," FX's "Nip/Tuck," and ABC's "How to Get Away with Murder."
