Elisha Ann Cuthbert (born November 30, 1982) is a Canadian actress. She is known as a former host of the Canadian children's television series Popular Mechanics for Kids and had roles in numerous other Canadian productions before moving to Los Angeles at the age of 17. She made her American television debut in the action-thriller 24. Cuthbert began her Hollywood career with small roles in Old School and Love Actually in 2003 and went on to star in her first feature film, The Girl Next Door, in 2004. Over the course of her career, Cuthbert has participated in a wide range of works spanning multiple genres and mediums.

In 2000, Cuthbert graduated from Centennial Regional High School and journeyed to Los Angeles, California to pursue a Hollywood acting career. She landed, in the same year, the part of Kim Bauer, the danger-prone daughter of CTU agent Jack Bauer (played by fellow Canadian Keifer Sutherland), in the television series 24. Cuthbert had given herself a deadline of six weeks to make something of her trip and was about to return home when she was offered the part during the fifth week. The show drew continual critical praise, though Cuthbert did not appear at all in the show's 4th season and guest-starred in only three episodes from the 5th. She also reprised her role as Kim Bauer in 24: The Game.

Presently, Cuthbert has been cast in three feature films. The first, Captivity, is a thriller centered around a fashion model and her chauffeur being taunted by a psychopath who has imprisoned them in a cellar. Little is known about the second film, He Was a Quiet Man, at this point. Cuthbert’s character, Vanessa, will be a quadriplegic. The film is said to contain comedic and dramatic elements; the cast includes Christian Slater and William H. Macy. The third film, Cat Tale, is an animated film set in a civilized world of cats and dogs. Cuthbert will voice Cleo, “the feline daughter of a wealthy kitty litter baron.” Cat Tale is slated for release in 2007 by Walt Disney Pictures.

Reports indicated that Cuthbert would be collaborating with Babbit and Belle again in the upcoming comedy Itty Bitty Titty Committee; however, neither Cuthbert nor Belle are listed in the IMDb entry for the film. Cuthbert appeared in the music video for Weezer’s “Perfect Situation” in early 2006, where she played the group’s fictional original singer who threw a tantrum that led to Rivers Cuomo, the unlikely roadie, becoming the frontman of the band.
