Emily VanCamp

Emily Irene VanCamp, who initially wanted to become a professional dancer, became interested in acting after visiting her sister Katie on the set of the film "Ladies Room". She started taking acting classes and simultaneously landed guest spots on TV series in her homeland Canada. Some of the shows she had starred in among others were "Are You Afraid of the Dark?", "Radio Active", and "Dice".

VanCamp experienced career breakthrough after being cast as regular Sam Dolan on the WB horror mystery show "Glory Days". Though receiving positive reviews, the series' low ratings unfortunately caused it to be canceled after only nine episodes. In fact, the May 12, 1986 born actress was quick to secure another part on "Everwood" as one of its main cast Amy Abbott. The role earned her nominations for a Young Artist Award and four Teen Choice Awards.
