Born on Halloween, 1980, in Tokyo, Japan, Samaire (pronounced Sa-mee-ra) Rhys Armstrong proclaimed at the age of 3 that she wanted to be an actress -- her mother still has the videotape of that moment. Samaire spent her childhood in Japan and Hawaii before settling in Arizona.
At Sedona Red Rock High School, she was active on the volleyball team, but really concentrated on drama as she starred in several of her high school's productions. After graduation, she enrolled at the University of Arizona but stayed only one year, finally deciding to seriously pursue a career in acting.
Taking her career to new heights, Armstrong ventured off the small screen and into film when she debuted her comedic talents in the 2001 hit. Trying hard to stray from being type-cast as the "cute blonde" in usual teenybopper movies, the actress searched for more unique and unconventional roles. She made a splash as a prominent character in the 2003 flick "Darkwolf"--a hip, erotic twist on the traditional werewolf thriller. Craving for more, Armstrong took a major risk to snatch the lead role in the never-before-seen WB pilot, "Trash" (2003), when she chopped her long, blonde locks during her audition to give herself a more edgy image. Not only did her audacity pay off, but it opened more doors for her flourishing career on both the small and big screens. She soon was guest-starring on the overnight sensation, "The O.C." and cast opposite heart-throb Brad Rowe for the 2004 entertaining, screwball comedy "Would I Lie to You?" based on Oscar Wilde's classic, "The Importance of Being Earnest." Armstrong also landed a spot on the HBO original series, "Entourage" (2004 - ), where she plays an assistant to a big-shot agent in Hollywood.
