Elisha Ann Cuthbert (born November 30, 1982) is a Canadian actress. She is known as the former co-host of the Canadian children's television series, Popular Mechanics for Kids, and for her role as Kim Bauer in the American action-thriller television series 24. She had her first lead role in the 2004 feature film, The Girl Next Door.
Biography :
Cuthbert was born in Calgary, Alberta to Patricia, a homemaker, and Kevin
Cuthbert, an automotive design engineer. She has two younger siblings,
Jonathan and Lee-Ann, and grew up in Greenfield Park, near Montreal, Quebec.
In 2000, she graduated from Centennial Regional High School and moved to
Los Angeles, California (at the age of 17) to pursue a career in acting.
Recent career :
Cuthbert appeared in the music video for Weezer's "Perfect Situation" in
early 2006, where she played the group's fictional original singer who
threw a tantrum that led to Rivers Cuomo, the unlikely roadie, becoming
the frontman of the band. Cuthbert features a small role in Paris Hilton's
music video for the song "Nothing In This World". As of September
2006, Cuthbert is scheduled to appear in three feature films. The first,
Captivity, is a thriller centered around a fashion model and her chauffeur
being taunted by a psychopath who has imprisoned them in a cellar. In
He Was a Quiet Man, Cuthbert's character, Vanessa, will be a quadriplegic.
The film will contain comedic and dramatic elements; the cast includes
Christian Slater and William H. Macy. The third film, Cat Tale, is an
animated film set in a civilized world of cats and dogs. Cuthbert will
voice Cleo, "the feline daughter of a wealthy kitty litter baron." Cat
Tale is scheduled for release in 2007 by Walt Disney Pictures. Reports
indicated that Cuthbert would be collaborating with Babbit and Belle
again in the upcoming comedy Itty Bitty Titty Committee; however, neither
Cuthbert nor Belle are listed in the IMDb entry for the film.
Cuthbert also screened along with Brandon Routh for the role of Lois Lane in Superman Returns but eventually she lost out to Kate Bosworth and also lost to Jessica Alba as Susan Storm of Fantastic Four. In 2007, she will appear in My Sassy Girl alongside Jesse Bradford.
