Rebecca Romijn has quickly established herself in Hollywood with roles in a number of prominent film and television projects. She was recently seen on the WB drama Pepper Dennis, as well as in the film Lies and Alibis alongside Steve Coogan, and in the blockbuster hit X3: The Last Stand. Her upcoming films include Man About Town opposite Ben Affleck, and Lake City with Sissy Spacek.
Previously Romijn starred opposite Thomas Jane and John Travolta in The Punisher, and opposite Robert De Niro and Greg Kinnear in Godsend. However it was her role in Femme Fatale opposite Antonio Banderas that won her critical acclaim. In this film noir thriller, she plays a woman attempting to go straight while being haunted by her shady con-woman past. The Los Angeles Times said of her performance, “Not since Sissy Spacek burned up the screen in Carrie has a De Palma woman held the screen as forcefully as Rebecca Romijn.”
These films come on the heels of her starring role in Rollerball, opposite Chris Klein and LL Cool J, a role opposite Al Pacino in Simone, and the hugely successful X-Men and X2.
Romijn began crossing over from the fashion world with memorable appearances on the hit television shows Friends and Just Shoot Me, as well as hosting MTV’s House of Style, and with cameos in such films as Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me.
She currently resides in Los Angeles.
