"It's interesting how your look totally dictates what kind of auditions you get or what kind of roles you can play. Since the haircut, I'm getting all these lesbian scripts sent to me. I had really long hair when I first came out here, and I'd always get these really cutesy auditions. I was like, 'I'm not a sorority girl, guys!'"
| Date of Birth: 1980 |

| Armstrong has made a name for herself in several teen-oriented productions. She was sexy in Not Another Teen Movie and then played a big tease as Anna Stern on FOX's The O.C. Her role as Emily in HBO's Entourage proved she can shine in a more mature setting, while her return to film in Rise, Stay Alive and Just My Luck (co-starring Lindsay Lohan) shows she has a future in Hollywood. |

| Simply put, Samaire Armstrong is cute, funny and quite talented. She adds a memorable dash of youthful energy to our favorite TV shows and always looks stunning on and off camera. |

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.
Like so many actors before her, Armstrong left her life in Arizona behind for the promise of Los Angeles. Talented as she is, it did not take long for the young beauty to garner small roles on TV. She started in 2000 with Party of Five, Freaks and Geeks and That's Life, gaining enough experience to justify her life-changing move to L.A..
Only one year into her professional career, Armstrong gave her breakthrough performance as hottie Kara in the full-length comedy Not Another Teen Movie. Bolstered by one-time appearances on The X-Files, Judging Amy and ER, she was now attracting the attention of many powerful people in the business.
After doing the TV movie Would I Lie to You? in 2002, Armstrong got the attention of most of adolescent America after winning the role of Anna Stern on The O.C..
In all, she would appear in 13 episodes of the primetime soap opera, carrying her into 2004 with much momentum. Although her character was booted from The O.C.'s storyline, Armstrong didn't fret, as she quickly got work on another hot TV show, HBO's Entourage.
Playing attractive Emily, Armstrong won over a whole new audience on this cable success, earning the right to star in a handful of movie roles. Having done the bomb DarkWolf in 2003, Armstrong revisited the horror genre in the films Rise and Staying Alive in '05 and '06. She also signed up for Just My Luck, a romantic comedy co-starring Lindsay Lohan.
Though Armstrong keeps a busy filming schedule, she has had time to develop and market her own fashion label, called NARU. The line has received a lot of publicity, with features in Vogue, YM, Elle, and InStyle, among others.
Samaire has also been in magazines for another reason, namely her hotness. Catch her in Stuff magazine, as well as Maxim, where she placed 55th in the mag's 2005 Hot 100 list. |
