Morena Baccarin was born in Rio De Janero, Brazil in 1979, but was raised in New York City. She was exposed to the world of acting at a very young age through her mother, Vera Setta, a well-known Brazilian actress who worked on both stage and television.
In 1989, Morena and her family moved to Greenwich Village, New York. A few years later she attended the Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts, the High School made famous in the movie Fame and the subsequent television series of the same name. Upon graduation, she was accepted into the prestigious
Later, she guest-starred in many hit television shows, joining Stagate SG-1, and Heartland and then starring in the hit remake V. Most recently she has joined the Showtime original series Homeland, where she plays Jessica Brody, a prisoner of war.
It was reported in 2009 that she was dating director Austin Chick.
This girl is perfect in everyway on stargate shes is soo hot it makes the show even better than it is
Welcome to the TV.com Forums for Morena Baccarin. Here is your area to discuss, dissect and debate all things about this person.
Plus: Gossip Girl is eying an end, Alan Ball has a screamin' new pilot at HBO, and another Beauty and the Beast project is in the works.
A million incredible things happened this week, but none of them were crazier than the squeaking hydraulics of a parked car.
This week, an interrogation revealed more about the interrogators than the suspect under the bright lights, and Queen Anna from V made an appearance.
In "Clean Skin," the truth hurt but lies killed. And even though Brody's intentions are still muddy, wonderful character arcs propelled the episode.
First off, the television series and movie were excellent and I enjoyed every scene and character interaction during its relatively short run. Having said that, I found myself hoping that Morena would be in every scene while I was watching. When she was in the scene, she stole every moment with her brilliant characterization, interaction with other characters, and last, but definitely not least, how stunningly gorgeous she is. I don't want my acknowledgement of her beauty to make anyone reading this think that this is the only reason I enjoyed her acting. I thought the way she played off the other actors was incredible and it always left me wanting more of her on-screen interactions. If you've watched the show you know exactly what I mean. She has everything going for her and I can't wait to see her in more roles in the future!
This girl has got to be one of the most beautiful and hottest women I have ever seen. Shes so smooth in her acting of course her role on Firefly required this. I have heard that she was on Stargate as well but I only have only seen her on Firefly. She is a magnet draws you in. She plays a companion on Firefly and does a great job being a seducteress!!!!!
I enjoyed her in Firefly. She is good in Stargate. Although Stargate writing has slipped a notch but Morena's role is worth watching. I got to love her more and more in Firefly each episode. An actress of true caliber compared with Hedy Lamarr. Moreana Baccarin a true Ziegfeld Girl. She needs to be in a Bond movie along Gina Torres. Morena should be a love interest of James Bond agent 007. A beautiful young women who has a lot of grace which disarms you with the great acting she is performing. A classic style from the 1940's. When her name is on the marque I will definitly check it out.
I first noticed her in a deodorant commercial. Since I don't pay much heed to commercials, that in itself should be a testament to just how stunning she is. Then she got the role as Inara Serra on Firefly, and she truly got to shine. She was often the embodiment of grace and beauty in situations where there were little of either. She played a character that could have easily been a caricature (the whore with a heart of good), but instead she played her character with a strong moral center and let herself be guided by that center. I think that says a lot about her talents.
It has bee good to see her in other roles lately: Chloe in How I Met Your Mother, Maya Griffin in the The O.C., and Adria in Stargate SG-1. I hope she get even more roles.
I also read on the Internet that we missed out. I read that Morena was Joss Whedon's first choice for the lead in his upcoming Wonder Woman project, but the Studio wanted to go with a bigger, more established star. So I guess we missed out on that one.
Though I haven't seen much of her, excluding Firefly and Serenity, and will be very pleased to see her again.
She carries herself with a great charisma and delivers lines with the same skill. I am surprised that we have not seen more of her through out her career. I am certaint hat we can expect great things from her though and I anxious to see them.
