Elisha Cuthbert began a career in entertainment as a model at the age of seven. Soon after, she was bit by the acting bug while spending the day as an extra on the set of Nickelodeon's "Are You Afraid of the Dark?" It was not long before she was invited back to the show...as a series regular.

While trotting the globe as a correspondent for the award-winning series "Popular Mechanics for Kids," Cuthbert caught the eye of First Lady Hillary Clinton and was invited to Washington for a meeting with the First Lady.

Her additional acting credits include "Lucky Girl," "Time at the Top" opposite Timothy Busfield, "Mail to the Chief" with Randy Quaid, "Airspeed" with Joe Mantegna and the recently wrapped "Believe" alongside Ben Gazzara and Andrea Martin.

Cuthbert was born in Calgary, raised in Vancouver and now resides in Montreal and Los Angeles.
