| AT A GLANCE |
Amber Benson studied singing, dancing as well as acting. While still in her teens she was involved in productions at the local community theatre. Her family moved to Los Angeles soon afterwards so she could
follow a career in acting. She has been progressively working ever since. By 1993 she
made her first of three TV movies "Jack Reed," "Jack Reed: Badge of
Honor," appearing as the daughter of the titular Chicago cop in this NBC entry as well as its 1994 and 1996.
She saw the actress make her big screen debut with featured roles in the teen thriller "The Crush" and Steven Soderbergh's
coming of age drama "King of the Hill". Her relatively small but unforgettable
parts in these very different skin helped to launch the young performer's career.
The following year she was featured in Anthony Drazan's period drama "Imaginary Crimes" and had a
essential supporting role in the social satire "S.F.W.". Playing determined,
pure hearted and somewhat wise font seemed to come easy to Benson, who brought a palpable intelligence to her powerful performances. She essayed the
delightful innocent daughter of divorced dad Randy Quaid in "Bye Bye,
Love," and guest starred on an episode of the Fox series "Partners" the following year.
