Eliza Dushku

Eliza Patricia Dushku, born in Watertown, Massachusetts, is an American actress with recurring appearances on Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel as Faith Lehane, a Slayer much more troubled than the main character Buffy. Though initially planned as a five episode role, the character became so popular that she stayed on for the entirety of the third season and returned for a two-part appearance in season four, after which the remainder of her original story arc was played out as part of the first season of the BTVS spinoff series Angel. Repentant and rededicated, Faith returned as a heroine in a number of further episodes of Angel, in the last five episodes of BTVS and the BTVS Season Eight comic.

Dushku holds the distinction of being the only actress, other than Sarah Michelle Gellar (and Gellar's stunt doubles), to portray Buffy Summers on the series when her character switched bodies with Buffy in the episode "Who Are You".

She has appeared in such films as Bring it On (which also starred another Buffy actress, Clare Kramer), Wrong Turn, True Lies, The New Guy, Soul Survivors, and Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. She also starred as Tru Davies in the short-lived TV series Tru Calling.

Her last role was on her own TV series Dollhouse which is created by Joss Whedon and guest stars Amy Acker, Alexis Denisof, and Summer Glau.

She will star in Noah's Ark: The New Beginning and Locked In which are coming out later this year.
