Gender:
Female
Born:
12-22-1968
Birthplace:
Queens, New York, USA
Birth Name:
Dina Meyer
Dina was born the middle of three children and was raised in Forest Hills, Queens, New York, however she moved to Dix Hills, Long Island just before her last year of Junior High School. Surprisingly for a Hollywood actress, she comes from a completely normal and stable family. Her parents are still together , has two brothers, and her father owns an auto parts and repair shop in Queens and drives a Harley.


Her first experience in the Entertainment Industry came when she did some modeling from age nine to sixteen. Dina always wanted to become an actress but her parents


More didn't think that a wise career move; they wanted her to get a good education, so she went to college and graduated in 1990 with a bachelor's degree in business administration (and a minor in French). However, once having graduated, Dina decided that she really didn't want to go down the Business road and instead decided to make a career in a much safer and more stable line of work...acting!


She began her training at The Neighborhood Playhouse, in New York, where she studied Sanford Meisner's acting techniques with Ron Stetson for about three years. Other actors to receive such training are Sandra Bullock, Michael Douglas, Jeff Goldblum, Leslie Nielson, and Diane Keaton. To pay the bills during this period in her life, she did a series of feminine hygiene commercials and apparently became quite proficient in explaining to large crowds the procedures associated with inserting...well...we won't go there. She currently resides in Los Angeles where she pursues a career in acting. Dina has been in a number of hit movies and has guest starred on several popular TV Series. As well as starring in the series Birds of Prey and Point Pleasant.

    Dina is versatile hide show

    She went from a witch to a sad, lonely woman on Point Pleasant. She actually made you care about her awful character. This is hard in today's tv arena. I just saw her in Saw II where she plays a cop who has no life but the job. She has an affair with a fellow officer who then has his kid abducted. She tries to handle the case calmly as he wants to get angry and get even. The end result is hardly what you would expect. With the surprise accalim of Saw, Saw II should bring Dina more acting jobs in the future with this dramatic role. She was wonderful! In the future I would like to see her in another good tv drama...she plays a bad girl very well. I would not mind seeing her comedic talents either!
