Emily VanCamp | |
---|---|
Emily Irene VanCamp (born May 12, 1986) is a Canadian actress born in Port Perry, Ontario. She is best known for her roles as Amy Abbott on the WB Network series Everwood, which ran from 2002 to 2006, and more recently for her role as Rebecca Harper in the ABC network series Brothers & Sisters since 2007.
Career
She moved to Los Angeles in early 2002. Emily VanCamp first appeared in 2000's Canadian television Are You Afraid of the Dark? as the character Peggy Gregory for the two episodes "The Tale of the Silver Sight: Part 2" and "The Tale of the Silver Sight: Part 3." Her next 2000's role was in Jackie Bouvier Kennedy Onassis, in which she played the character of Jackie Bouvier at 13 years of age. She appeared again in 2000 in the television series Radio Active in the episode "Bully for You", portraying the character Becky Sue. In 2001 VanCamp appeared in Lost and Delirious playing Allison Moller. She also appeared in All Souls as Kirstin Caine, Johanna Wilson in Dice and in Glory Days as Sam Dolan.
She appeared in Redeemer as Alana and in The House on Turk Street as Connie. She next appeared as Jen Tyler in A Different Loyalty. She appeared in the short film Rings which bridged the gap between The Ring and The Ring Two, the latter of which saw her reprising her character from the aforementioned short film. She also appeared in the 2006 film Black Irish as the character Kathleen.
The role for which she is perhaps best known is her character Amy Abbott in the WB Television Network's drama Everwood.
In 2007, VanCamp joined the cast of Touchstone Television’s large ensemble series Brothers & Sisters as a regular late in the season, a move that marks her second teaming with Executive Producer Greg Berlanti (they were previously paired on Everwood). VanCamp's character was introduced as the daughter of the late William Walker (Tom Skerritt) and his secret mistress, Holly Harper (Patricia Wettig), though it is later discovered that this is incorrect through a DNA test done in 2008.
Personal life
Emily was raised speaking French and speaks the language fluently.
