Anna Faris: Summary

Recent Role:: Herself / Guest on Sidewalks Entertainment

Gender:: Female

Birthday:: 11-29-1976

Birthplace:: Baltimore, Maryland, USA

Birth Name:: Anna Kay Faris

AKA:: Anna Kay Faris

Difficult to recognize in her natural blonde state following her turn as a raven-haired Neve Campbell knockoff in Scary Movie and it's sequel, Anna made her professional acting debut at the tender age of nine at Washington's Seattle Repertory Theater. Refining her skills in improvisational theater, she later found roles in commercials and small local productions, though her future as an actress came into question as she pursued further education and a move overseas.

Raised in Seattle, Anna studied English Literature at the University of Washington after high school, later moving to London to begin working and writing. Longing to return to her childhood love of acting, Anna took a role in the run-of-the-mill teen slasher pic Lover's Lane. Making the move to Los Angeles in order to pursue an acting career full time, her previous improvisational experiences would soon come in handy as she landed her breakthrough role in the popular Scream-slanted spoof of teen slasher pics, Scary Movie.

Not only did she start getting interviewed, but she also was getting more fans. After Scary Movie she finished shooting the indie film Love's Unlimited Orchestra with Gretchen Mol and Denise Richards, in which she plays a junkie. Anna also has a pilot for NBC's Summer lineup, called Dog Days. The show is about Anna and her dog, and there are live characters as well as voice overs for the dogs.

Anna has also appeared in two Scary Movie sequels, The Hot Chick, her second movie with Rob Schnieder and Cult hit May with Angela Bettis.

Anna also starred in an indie short called "Saphron Burrows", soon after Scary Movie. Her mom said "she did the film for her friends because it was run on a very low budget."

Anna never takes anything for granted and definitely has her head on her shoulders. She takes all of her fans to heart and tries to thank all of the reporters. With her career boosting everyday, Anna has a lot to look forward to. Hopefully, she will stay the way she is. Real.

"I try to keep my head on straight and take nothing for granted."

She is very talented in very different ways, though I think that she has to get out from the Scary Movie thing, it does not let her to exceed hereself as an actress and to be honest I think her actng in it, has become very stupid as Cindy. Still, I think that she is a very good and talented actress.

Anna Faris is really a talented actress. In every role she really makes you believe that she actually is the character she's portraying. This sense of realism is what makes her really stand out above the masses of the rest of actresses today. My favorite movie of her's is "The Hot Chick."

She is absolutely one of the greatest female actresses in comedy. She is attractive, sexy and a smart person who never failed to attract viewers. I've seen her in many movies and TV shows and I must say she's absolutely amazing. From great performances in "Scary Movie"-s, "Just Friends," and "Friends," she is an absolute hit!

Anna Harris is well known for her lead role in all of the Scary Movie movies. In all of them, she plays a very dramatic park and is my favourite character. She has also done other stuff but I haven't seen any of it.

Anna is probably well known for her 'Scary Movies', where she played Sindey, a goofy and heartminded girl. She also played in a lot of comedies such as 'Just Frineds', 'Waiting' and 'My Super Ex-Girlfriend'...She's one of my fave actresses. She's smart, cute and funny! I hope I will see her in much much more new movies!!!!
