Jessica Biel, with her striking good looks and wide range of talent, has become one of Hollywood's most sought out actresses. Her television series-acting debut on the WB's number one rated show "7th Heaven," has helped her emerge as a breakout star. Jessica can currently be seen making her first cameo appearance in New Line Cinema's Cellular starring Kim Basinger and Chris Evans.

Currently, Biel is in production on Cameron Crowe's Elizabethtown, starring opposite Orlando Bloom, Kirsten Dunst, and Susan Sarandon and she recently wrapped filming Stealth for Columbia Pictures in New Zealand.

Jessica was most recently seen in New Line Cinema's hit remake of Texas Chainsaw Massacre and was also seen in Lions Gate Films' The Rules of Attraction for director Roger Avary.

In an impressive display of versatility, Jessica garnered rave notices for her portrayal as the rebellious daughter in Victor Nunez's critically acclaimed film, Ulee's Gold, with Peter Fonda. Selected as the Centerpiece Premiere for the '97 Sundance Film Festival and presented at Cannes, the movie opened to glowing reviews. Jessica also starred on the big screen in the Warner Brothers romantic comedy Summer Catch, co-starring Freddie Prinze Jr. and in the Disney holiday film, I'll Be Home For Christmas, with Jonathan Taylor Thomas.

As a child, she initially pursued a career as a vocalist, performing in musical theatre. Starting at age nine, she starred in such productions as Annie, The Sound of Music and Beauty and the Beast. A natural beauty, Jessica soon turned to modeling and commercial work by competing in The International Modeling and Talent Association's Annual Conference in 1994.

After completing a year and a half of college at Tufts University in Boston, Jessica plans on going back to school in California for the remainder of her college years. In her spare time Jessica is involved with charities such as Best Friends Animal Sanctuary and PETA. Her hobbies include ballet, soccer, running, yoga and hiking with her dog ‘East.' Jessica currently resides in Los Angeles.
