Rhona Mitra was born on the 9th of August 1976, to Nora and Anthony Mitra, in Paddington, Central London. After a difficult childhood at several boarding schools and a busy nightlife involving partying and drugs in her late teens, Rhona enrolled in drama school for a year, determined to become an actress. Following her departure, she won roles in small theater productions, as well as guest spots on television, including British dramas The Bill and Ghostbusters of East Finchley.

After appearing in the 1997 mini-series The Man Who Made Husbands

More Jealous and the adventure sequel A Kid In Aladdin's Palace, Rhona pursued modelling and won the role of Lara Croft, a character she played during promotional tours for the video game. During this time, Rhona again branched out and recorded an album, Come Alive with Dave Stewart.

Now relatively famous in the UK, Rhona hosted the music series The Pepsi Chart Show for two years, before moving to Los Angeles to pursue an acting career. Rhona quickly won supporting roles in major movies including Hollow Man and the Get Carter remake, and recurred on the FOX teen drama Party of Five in its final season. Her fan-favorite role as a British medical student lead to a leading role on the ABC medical drama Gideon's Crossing. While the show was quickly canceled, a talent deal with the network lead to a series regular role on the successful courtroom drama The Practice as Tara Wilson. She and co-star James Spader later jumped ship to the spin-off series Boston Legal, which she starred on for one season, before leaving to join the cast of the FX plastic surgery drama Nip/Tuck, playing bisexual nymphomaniac detective Kit McGraw.

Outside of TV, Rhona continued to take movie roles, appearing in the comedy Stuck on You, drama The Life of David Gale and the Reese Witherspoon vehicle Sweet Home Alabama. Her latest roles include the werewolf horror movie Skinwalkers, action thriller Shooter and The Number 23.

    Talented as well as beautiful. hide show

    Rhona is a highly talented actress with excellent comedic timing, a fact often over looked because she wasnt exactly beat with the ugly stick when born. The first time she caught my attention was on the brilliant Boston Legal, where she excelled as Tara Wilson, the role I would most love to see her reprise even for just one guest episode. She has great range, from the sweet girl she played on Party of Five to the sarcastic, witty lawyer on Boston Legal, to the loving protective mother in Skinwalkers, to the feisty rebel in Doomsday most recently. There's no denying she's beautiful, her own attempts to break away from just being a "T&A girl" highlighting her struggles against casting directors who merely want her to stand around pouting. One of my favourite things about Rhona is her accent. She has the most amazing British accent, her voice is like honey, and the directors who decided she should have an American accent in films such as Highwaymen and Skinwalkers should be ashamed of themselves. Rhona is amazing, people need to recognise!!!

    Detective Kit Mcgraw hide show

    I particularly enjoyed her in her recent role as Kit Mcgraw on the television show Nip/Tuck. She gave a very sensual and charasmatic performance. Every time she appeared on screen you were drawn to her and couldn't help but notice her. She has a flare for dialogue and exposition. Good actress.

    She plays Kit Mcgraw on the awesome TV show Nip/Tuck hide show

    She must be banging the creator of the show, because she is the least talanted actress I've ever seen. All her dialogue, scenes, and performances sound like they are stolen from a low budget porn flick. She is supposed to be the greatest detective from London but she is only like 30 years old so I don't know how she got that reputation. She's a complete bitch to rape victims and for some reason is never held to rules of investigation or anything. I hope she gets fired immediatly.
