[edit] Biography

Born to Kevin and Patricia Cuthbert, Elisha's career began in 1989 at the age of seven by becoming a model. She grew up in Longueuil, Quebec, near Montreal, and is fluent in French.

Cuthbert was one of the hosts of "Popular Mechanics for Kids" by the time she was fifteen, and later appeared as a regular on "Are You Afraid of the Dark?". Cuthbert graduated from Centennial Regional High School in Greenfield Park, Quebec in 2000 and moved to Los Angeles, California shortly afterwards.

She began her Hollywood film career with small roles in Old School and Love Actually, but her break came with The Girl Next Door, in which she was cast as an ex-porn star, Danielle. Cuthbert had initial reservations about taking the part, but was persuaded by director Luke Greenfield into accepting.

After this she appeared in several other films, such as House of Wax and Captivity, both of which were largely panned, and was even nominated for a Razzie award as worst actress in the latter. She then appeared in He Was a Quiet Man, playing a quadriplegic. The film was in limited release in 2007 and release on DVD in early 2008. Cuthbert is slated to voice "the feline daughter of a wealthy kitty litter baron", in Cat Tale, an animated film set in a civilized world of cats and dogs. She is also set to appear in the family comedy The Six Wives of Henry LeFay with actor Tim Allen, as well as My Sassy Girl, a remake of a Korean film.

Elisha recently appeared in the miniseries "Guns" (with Colm Feore and Shawn Doyle). She will return to television with the CBS drama pilot "Ny-Lon", a project based on a British series. She will play a New York literacy teacher/record store clerk who embarks on a transatlantic romance with a London stockbroker.

[edit] Memorable quotes

...on looking sexy on 24: "I was the one with breasts, so that was my job, to look good."
...on her career: "I was lucky, I found what I wanted to do when I was 11."
...on her 'nude scenes' in The Girl Next Door:"I snuck into the back of the cinema when The Girl Next Door was playing and during the window scene, which pushed the envelope but didn't actually go there, I remember some of the audience being really disappointed and going 'Awww...'"
...on going to hockey games: "I try really hard after the games not to make too many comments about how I thought the guys performed. I mean I don't know how I'd feel if one them came up to me after a scene and said, 'I don't know if that was believable enough.'"
...on fate: "I definitely believe in fate. And I believe what you put in is what you get in return. That's the way it's worked for me. As for the big picture - there's some sort of plan.'"
