Biography
In Hollywood, we have seen the likes of Lindsay Lohan and Hillary Duff rise from child and teen superstardom and get lifted up to higher levels of fame as they push through their twenties. Joining their ranks is another twenty-something who is going the same path that Lohan and Duff walked on, and she is truly worth watching out for.
Chyler Leigh is probably best known as yet for the role she played in Not Another Teen Movie, a spoof comedy released in 2001 wherein she played Janey Briggs, a spin on the typecast ugly duckling character that forms part of the ensemble for typical coming-of-age teen movies. It is her only film to date where she got major exposure as an actress; her big screen debut, however, happened in 1997 when she played a small role in Kickboxing Academy.
The body of work Chyler Leigh has is more concentrated currently on television. In 1996, she acted as co-host for the teen show Hall Pass. She also had roles in Kinetic City Super Crew and Safe Harbor. TV Producer David E. Kelley, creator of The Practice and Boston Legal, put her in the cast of The Practice in 2003. Following her stint at The Practice are parts in Rocky Point and North Shore, both aired in 2005.
Born on April 10, 1982 in Charlotte, North Carolina, Chyler Leigh entered show business at an early age, dropping out of eighth grade in order to start a modeling career. She appeared in many commercials of companies such as Wendy's Hamburgers and Coca-Cola. Another appearance of hers was in Marilyn Manson's music video Tainted Love.
On July 20, 2002, Chyler Leigh married actor Nathan West, her co-star in Not Another Teen Movie. Together they have a son, Nathan Wilde, and a daughter. The daughter was born on September 2006; the couple has yet to release details about their daughter's name and date of birth.
In 2007 you can see Chyler on ABC's hit drama Grey's Anatomy, as Meredith's half sister.
