Daniella Evangelista has been working in the film and modeling industry
since she was 4-years-old. Born in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada and raised in Los
Angeles, California; Daniella now splits her time between both cities. She has a
passion for cooking & health and in addition to performing, she enjoys
coaching acting (especially with children). Daniella is a bit of a
tomboy and loves cars & bikes, but when she puts on a dress, look out.
Evangelista is best-known for her 5-year run as series regular "Tracey
Antonelli" on the hit series,
Edgemont (2000), starring
Kristin Kreuk
(Smallville (2001),
Beauty and the Beast (2012))
and Grace Park
(Battlestar Galactica (2004),
Hawaii Five-0 (2010)). Daniella
has earned numerous guest star credits and has been featured in both TV
and theatrical release feature films.
Shortly after her first film
(Dich kriegen wir auch noch! (1998)),
Daniella landed roles in numerous TV movies, including a small part in
Zwei Brüder auf der Flucht (1995),
starring Danny Aiello and
Mickey Rooney. Her first American
feature film was Warner Bros.'s
Little Panda (1995),
working opposite Ryan Slater,
Christian Slater's brother. Daniella
has also worked on several independent films across the genre. At
thirteen, Daniella opted to take some time off from acting to
concentrate on school work. In the late 90s, she was approached by 20th
Century Fox to read for a role in
Star Wars: Episode I - Die dunkle Bedrohung (1999),
although the part was eventually given to
Natalie Portman. More recently, Daniella
has appeared in the feature films,
Stumme Schreie im See (2000)
and its sequel, Ripper (2001),
Wishmaster 3: Beyond the Gates of Hell (2001)
and The Mangler 2 (2002).
With her "scream queen" title firmly established, Daniella took a
change of direction and landed the role of "Tracey Antonelli" in the
Canadian television hit series,
Edgemont (2000), which is now
filming its fourth season. She also provides the voice of "Kana" in the
popular Japanese anime,
Kleine Hamster große Abenteuer (2000); and
will soon be seen in the Tom Arnold
movie,
After School Special (2002),
and in Elijah Wood's
All I Want (2002), which
premiered at the Toronto Film Festival.
