Dina Meyer (born December 22, 1968) is
an American film and television actress, perhaps best
known for her roles in Starship Troopers and the Saw
films. Born and raised in Queens, N.Y., Meyer studied
dance throughout her childhood and loved performing on
the stage in dance recitals.
She knew she wanted to act from an early
age and was even accepted into New York's High School of
Performing Arts, but her parents convinced her to follow
a more traditional academic path.
She majored in Business Administration and minored in
French at Long Island University, and attended the
Sorbonne in Paris. After graduation, however, she
decided to pursue her acting again and studied under Ron
Stetson.
Career: Meyer's film debut was in the TV film
Strapped in 1993, although her role in the cyberpunk
thriller Johnny Mnemonic was perhaps her breakthrough
performance. Before that, however, she also had a role
in the TV series Beverly Hills 90210 as Lucinda
Nicholson. In addition to Johnny Mnemonic, she has had
other roles in science fiction productions, such as
Starship Troopers, Birds of Prey and Star Trek: Nemesis.
Meyer made her film debut opposite Keanu Reeves in the
action-thriller "Johnny Mnemonic." She went on
to star with Dennis Quaid in the feature film
"Dragonheart." Additional film credits include
a starring role in "Starship Troopers" and
"Bats." Meyer was also seen in the latest
installment of the legendary franchise, "Star Trek:
Nemesis" as the Romulan Commander Donatra.
Television fans will recognize Meyer from her role on
the Aaron Spelling phenomenon "Beverly Hills,
90210," where she played the adulterous professor
Lucinda Nicholson, who had a torrid affair with Jason
Priestley's character - a role that brought her to Los
Angeles. She also had a three-episode arc on
"Friends" as Joey's love interest. Other
television credits include "Ally McBeal,"
"Michael Hayes" and, most recently, the
critically acclaimed Golden Globe Award-winning series
"Six Feet Under."
Meyer currently resides in Los Angeles. She enjoys
rollerblading and snowboarding.
Two of her most recent films were the 2004
horror/thriller hit Saw and its 2005 sequel Saw II. She
made several guest appearances on Friends and Miss
Match. She also played one of the leads on the now
canceled Point Pleasant. In March 2006 Meyer was in the
series premiere episode of Thief as Wanda the wife of
Andre Braugher's character Nick. However, her character
was killed in the first episode in a car wreck.
She reprised her role as Kerry in the third installment
of the Saw series Saw III, released on October 27, 2006.
Personal life: Meyer was born in Queens, New York
to a father who owns an auto parts/repair shop. She has
two brothers. Meyer loved dancing and acting from an
early age, but it was not until after she graduated from
university that she started to work to become an
actress. She attended Long Island University, where she
majored in business administration.
Among her hobbies and interests are
snowboarding, rollerblading and biking. She lives in Los
Angeles. Meyer dated actor Shane West, after the movie A
Walk to Remember and also was his date to the premiere.
