Emily Vancamp

Emily Irene VanCamp is a Canadian actress known for her lead roles in numerous television series and also for her powerful performance in films. She is popular on both Canadian as well as American television. When Emily was 12, she became interested in acting after she visited her elder sister Katie on the set of one of her films. After realizing her passion for acting, she started taking acting classes and went for auditions. Initially, she bagged a few commercials and was soon cast in the Canadian children's horror television series ‘Are You Afraid of the Dark?’, where she was seen in just one scene without any dialogue. She got her first big break at the age of 15 when she was cast as a regular in the WB show ‘Glory Days’. Although the show was canceled after nine episodes, Emily’s performance caught the eye of ‘Dawson's Creek’ writer Greg Berlanti, who cast her in his TV show, ‘Everwood’. Also a ballet dancer and a photographer, Emily was once listed by ‘Teen’ as one of the top actresses under the age of 20. She was ranked number 51 on Maxim's Hot 100 list of 2014.
