Michelle Rodriguez

Mini Biography Courtesy of IMDB.com

Known for tough-chick roles, Michelle Rodriguez is proof that there is a cross between beauty and brawn. Born in Bexar County, Texas on July 12, 1978, Michelle always knew she was destined to become a star, she just didn't know how to get there. Michelle lived in Texas until the age of 8 when her family moved to the Dominican Republic where she lived for two years before moving to Puerto Rico. At 11, Michelle's family relocated for the last time to Jersey City, New Jersey. Although she has been working since 1999 as an extra in such films as Summer of Sam (1999) and Cradle Will Rock (1999), it only took a magazine ad announcing an open casting call in New York for Michelle to decide to finally step into the spotlight. The role was the female lead, the movie was Girlfight (2000). Despite the lack of experience in film and boxing, Michelle auditioned, along with another 350 girls. After various trials inside an actual boxing ring and five arduous months of training in Brooklyn's Gleason's Gym, she was finally chosen to portray the role of Diana Guzman. As soon as the independent film began making the rounds at various film festivals, Michelle began gaining critical acclaim for her performance earning her awards like the Deaxville Festival of American Cinema award for Best Actress and the Las Vegas Film Critics Society for Female Breakthrough Performance. As Girlfight (2000) continued to gain notoriety with its September 2000 release, Michelle was already hard at work with films like 3 A.M. (2001), the blockbuster hit The Fast and the Furious (2001), and Resident Evil (2002). With Hollywood calling her name, the future for this feisty Jersey girl is as strong as the punches she throws.

OMG she is going to be on lost? i can't believe this, she's a movie star... and i think she was awesome in girlfight and resident evil. lol. still need to see SWAT though,

[sleepwalker]

There has to be some form of MR defense in the Lostdom.

Why does everyone hate Ana Lucia already? She's hardly being given a chance, and is just blatantly getting flamed everywhere. Michelle Rodriguez is an amazing actress, and I would hate to see her character killed off just because of negative feedback from some avid fans.

And it's not like the writers of Lost would never do a thing like that. Kill off characters for viewers' interest? NO..never...

I think Michelle Rodriguez is a brilliant actress; I just hate her character for the extreme inability to STOP HITTING SAWYER! >_< But I agree, Sleepwalker, she is a great actress as far as I'm concerned.
