Lauren Lee Smith “By the end of the shoot, it was like, Alright, we’re naked again. Who cares?” says Vancouver-born Lauren Lee Smith about her star turn in the emotionally-charged film Lie With Me. Smith has become even more comfortable with nude scenes on Showcase’s controversial show The L Word. “People will go see Quentin Tarantino films, which are incredibly violent, and they have no problem with that,” says Smith. “But show a naked body and [they] freak out.” Also look for Smith in the dramedy The Last Kiss with Scrubs star Zach Braff. Breakthrough role Leila in Lie With Me Coming soon One Way
Cobie Smulders Cobie Smulders is house hunting. Now that her sitcom, How I Met Your Mother, is into its sophomore run, the Vancouver native can buy property in Los Angeles. “It’s definitely a confidence booster going into a second season,” says Smulders, “and knowing that you’re going to be okay for a while.” Smulders plays Robin, a Canadian-bred, New York-based reporter. “I think the show’s creators associate me a lot with Robin,” she says. “They like the fact that I’m Canadian, though there have only been a few jokes about it.” The only problem: Despite her will-they-or-won’t-they relationship with Ted on the show, Robin is still stuck with her surname, Scherbatsky. Says Smulders, “It’s the worst name to ever try to say.” Breakthrough role Robin Scherbatsky on How I Met Your Mother Coming soon Season two of How I Met Your Mother
Emmanuelle Vaugier Emmanuelle Vaugier has no problem with being called a scream queen. The title might fit, given the number of
roles she’s scored in the horror genre – everything from the blockbuster sequel Saw II to an episode of the anthology TV series Master of Horror directed by the legendary John Carpenter. But for the actress who has made Maxim magazine's top-100 list, it turns out nothing is scarier than a sitcom. “Doing Two and a Half Men was terrifying at first,” says the Vancouver native, of the show in which she plays Charlie Sheen’s love interest. “It’s a rush to get up in front of a live audience. There is an entirely different rhythm to what it is that you’re doing as an actress.” Breakthrough role Nikki on One Tree Hill Coming soon Electronic Arts’ Need for Speed: Carbon video game. |
