Root-Dodson began her career co-starring in
Luke Matheny's
Oscar-winning short film
God of Love. In 2018, Root-Dodson began a recurring role as
Ecco, a character similar to
Harley Quinn, in the
Fox series
Gotham. Ecco is the assistant of Jeremiah Valeska, the show's version of the
Joker. Executive producer
John Stephens teased at
Gothams New York Comic-Con panel in October 2018 that Jeremiah would be paired with a "somewhat deranged girlfriend who dresses in a multicolored fashion." Starting with
season 5, Stephens explained that the show would be injecting "a lot of the same elements of madness and anarchy, and the sort of mad love that Harley has, and placing it into the Ecco character." Root-Dodson has appeared in two music videos: the video for “Morning Light” by the San Francisco band
Girls and
James Arthur’s video for “Falling Like the Stars.” Root-Dodson played Bridget in season four of
Succession in which her character carried a “ludicrously capacious” handbag. == Personal life ==
