Who plays the character Trinity in The Matrix?

Carrie-Anne Moss plays Trinity in The Matrix.

Trinity is a skilled hacker, pilot, martial artist, and first mate aboard Morpheus’s hovercraft, the Nebuchadnezzar. She is one of the first characters audiences meet and becomes the crucial link between Neo and the resistance fighting the machines. Moss’s performance combines toughness, control, and emotional warmth, helping make Trinity more than a conventional action-film sidekick.

The role was a major breakthrough for Moss. Casting required a demanding physical test, and the finished film showcased her acrobatic movement, gun handling, martial-arts choreography, and motorcycle and helicopter sequences. Trinity’s opening rooftop escape and her later rescue missions became among the film’s most recognizable action moments.

Moss returned as Trinity in The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions, then reprised the character in The Matrix Resurrections in 2021. A common mix-up is confusing the performer with Trinity’s voice actors in some games and animated projects; in the live-action films, Moss is the definitive portrayal.
