ミッシー・ペリグリム

Famous for her role as the tenacious Andy McNally on the cop series "Rookie Blue" (ABC, 2010-15), Missy Peregrym did not always plan to pursue a career on screen. Born in Montreal, Canada, Peregrym was planning to become a physical education teacher when she was scouted by a talent agent at age 18, and signed to the Lizbell Agency as a model. Modeling soon turned to commercial work, as Peregrym appeared in ads for Mercedes-Benz and the Olympic Games, and before long, she was auditioning for acting roles. Her TV debut came in 2002, when she appeared on an episode of the series "Dark Angel" (Fox, 2000-02). She would go on to co-star on the short-lived series "Life as We Know It" (ABC, 2004-05), before landing the starring role in the gymnastics movie "Stick It" (2006). Peregrym would go on to play a recurring role on the landmark series "Heroes" (NBC, 2006-2010), and co-star on the cult favorite "Reaper" (CW, 2007-09) before landing the her starring role on "Rookie Blue." After a handful of guest appearances on shows like "Ten Days in the Valley" (ABC, 2017-18), Peregrym joined the cast of the fantasy series "Van Helsing" (Syfy, 2016-).
