Profession: Actress

Amy Smart, the talented & lovely actress, was born March 25th, 1976 in Topanga Canyon, California. Amy was a relatively new arrival when she first gained notice for her supporting roles in the 1999 hit teen films "Varsity Blues" and "Outside Providence."

Amy's dad, John, was a salesman. Her mother, Judy, worked at the local J. Paul Getty Museum. She has one brother, Adam, who is an aspiring artist. She was known as a tomboy as a youngster and was the only girl on her Little League baseball team. She started modeling at the age of 13 and moved to acting in 1994.

Following her brief career as a model, actress Amy Smart gained almost immediate notice for her supporting turns in the hit teen films "Varsity Blues" (1999) and "Outside Providence" (1999). But it was her more risqué appearance in the teen sex romp "Road Trip" (2000) that exposed the young actress to a wider audience. Though mainly remembered in that film for her topless scene, Smart nonetheless made a name for herself. She used the exposure to her advantage, landing more prominent dramatic roles in features and on television, including "Scotland, PA" (2001) and "The Battle of Shaker Heights" (2003) - the latter of which also included being on "Project Greenlight" (HBO, 2001-05). Not just another pretty face, Smart managed to avoid being typecast as the blonde-haired bombshell by moving across varied genres. She easily moved from romantic comedies like "Just Friends" (2005) to high-action thrillers like "Crank" (2006), while also shaking things up with the television heist drama "Smith" (CBS, 2006), assuring that Smart would maintain a long career for years to come.

In the supernatural "Mirrors" (2008), Smart was the sister of a NYPD officer (Kiefer Sutherland) struggling with alcoholism and depression after his involvement in the death of an undercover officer, which she followed with a reprisal of her girlfriend role in "Crank 2: High Voltage" (2009); this time courted by both Statham and a mullet-sporting Corey Haim.
