Piper Perabo

Wisely uses her excellent acting skills and intelligence to differentiate herself from other striking actresses, Piper Lisa Perabo sure is an extraordinary figure to look at. A Dallas, Texas native of Portuguese and Norwegian ancestry, she was born on October 31, 1976 as the eldest of three children to George William Perabo and Mary Charlotte Ulland. Looking from her enthusiasm to make stage adaptations of her favorite books in her grandmother's living room during her childhood, it was clearly apparent that the little girl has developed an interest in performing characters at such a young age. This fondness extended to her teen years for she was eagerly involved in all yearly musicals of Toms River High School North where she studied at, followed by the decision to take theater major at Ohio University in Athens, Ohio after her graduation in 1994.

Successfully finished her study four years later with the title of summa cum laude in her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree, Piper afterwards headed for New York to polish her skills at the city's LaMamma Stage Theater before putting full concentration to establish a professional acting career. Already compiled theatrical experience through performances in "Arms and the Man", "Trinity", "Antigone", "Fool for Love", "Kindertransport", plus "Our Town", she then ventured into screen production through small-budget independent films, like "Single Spaced" (1998) and "Knuckleface Jones" (1999). Nevertheless, it appeared to her that the success was still beyond her reach as those short pictures went unnoticed, forcing her to work at a bar in order to support her life there.
