Ashley McCall Scott (born July 13, 1977)
is an American actress. She is known for her work on
television and in film, including her roles in the
television series Dark Angel and Birds of Prey.
Early life: Scott was born in Metairie, Louisiana
to Joe Scott, a nurse, and Andrea Meister, an
administrative assistant. She was raised in Charleston,
South Carolina as the middle child between two brothers.
Scott began her career as a young girl when she began
modeling. While living in Charleston she entered a
Millie Lewis Talent Competition. Though she forgot her
TV commercial, she was so good on her recovery, that she
won her division. After Millie Lewis and her sophomore
year of high school, Scott went to New York at the age
of fifteen to pursue her modeling career. She traveled,
trying different markets and eventually became a model
for Elite Miami.
She settled in Miami, was an active
catalogue model and a Giorgio Red spokesmodel. As a
young woman, she modeled internationally and graced the
runways at fashion shows in Miami, Paris and London. She
has appeared on the cover of the prestigious Hollywood
Reporter and has been tracked by photographers from such
publications as Women's Wear Daily, US Weekly and Cosmo
Girl.
Career: Scott decided to give acting a go and one
of her first auditions was with Al Pacino (for the film
S1m0ne). When asked how she felt about the audition she
said, "I'm dyslexic, so I was more frightened about
reading in front of someone whether it be Al Pacino or,
you know, anybody. I was more paranoid about that, but,
you know, it was cool. It was just like sitting down
with regular old people. But he's pretty magical. He's
pretty spectacular." She did not win the role, but
her audition tape for the Al Pacino film landed in the
offices of Dreamworks. She was then cast in another film
that led to her first significant big screen credit, a
few seconds as Gigolo Jane in the feature film AI:
Artificial Intelligence in which she shared screen time
with Jude Law's Gigolo Joe character.
In 2001, Scott also broke into television when she was
cast as Asha Barlow in the second season of Fox's hit
science fiction series Dark Angel. This role was her
first major acting role. Her character was an ally to
cyber journalist Logan Cale (played by Michael
Weatherly) and part of a group formed to expose
government corruption. The Dark Angel staff liked her
enough to try to revise the formerly bookish character
to fit Ashley's personality and they also quickly
promoted her from a guest star to a regular cast member.
In February 2002, while still featured in her recurring
role on Dark Angel, it was announced that Scott was cast
as Helena Kyle, better known as the superhero called the
Huntress in the pilot episode of a possible upcoming WB
series about post-Batman Gotham City and a trio of
female crime fighters known as the Birds of Prey
(loosely based on the DC comic of the same name).
Scott did do most of her own stunt work for this pilot
episode. She has been quoted as saying "I want to
do as much as I can, legally as much as I can. I like to
get my hands dirty, so, yeah, hopefully back handsprings
will come." She studied Taekwondo and gymnastics
with a Trainer in preparation for the role of Huntress.
Filming the pilot cut short Scott's time
on Dark Angel, but it turned out that Dark Angel would
not be returning in the fall. She gained a few fans as
Huntress in the WB's Birds of Prey in the fall of 2002,
but that show had a short run and ended mid-season.
Ashley followed her work on Birds of Prey with feature
films appearances in such films as S.W.A.T, Trespassing,
Walking Tall, and Into the Blue.
Scott was originally cast in the pilot of the NBC Matt
LeBlanc sitcom Joey in 2004, but she was replaced by
Andrea Anders. She has a minor role in the picture 2005
film Just Friends, as a nurse. Scott currently stars as
Emily Sullivan on the CBS post-apocalyptic drama
Jericho.
Personal life: Scott resides in Los Angeles and
she's married to Producer Anthony Scott Rhulen. She has
two pet Australian tree frogs named Azul and Chunk. She
once had a tongue ring and has two tattoos, one on her
lower back and another of her husband's initials on the
back of her neck.
She enjoys horseback riding, fishing,
cooking and hanging out with her friends. She loves the
McRib from McDonald's. Her favorite comic book hero is
The Incredible Hulk. She was the last person to visit
Paris Hilton in jail. |
