Biography from imdb

Emilie was born on 27th December 1981, and grew up in Mount Eliza, Victoria, Australia. When she was 15, she was accepted at the highly selective Australian Ballet School in Melbourne. However, after only a year, she dropped out and undertook acting courses.

Her first starring role was on the fantasy drama, "BeastMaster" (1999). When her agent told her of a role in the US, as newcomer Tess in the hit series "Roswell" (1999), she flew out and auditioned. After landing the role, she was written out of "BeastMaster" (1999) and started work as "Tess", an alien. She relocated to California and was on "Roswell" (1999) before she even owned an apartment.

After 2 years on the show, she then made notable guest appearances in "CSI: Miami" (2002) and "The Handler" (2003).

She stayed in TV, playing the bad girl Chris in Carrie (2002) (TV), a movie made for TV. She also changed genres, starring in Santa's Slay (2005), a black comedy.

Emilie has shown her versatility by branching out into film, making her debut at Sundance 2005 with the the award-winning indie film Brick (2005). She starred in the remake The Hills Have Eyes (2006) in 2006, which debuted at No.1 in the UK box office.

She is now on the Emmy-award winning ABC series "Lost" (2004), playing "Claire", a young Australian who gave birth on the mysterious island and has a close relationship with heroin-addict "Charlie", played by Dominic Monaghan.

Quotes

"I want to pursue as much of a serious acting career as I can, not just a flimsy overnight career. I take it very seriously and I really want to pursue it for the rest of my life."

"It's actually fun to not know anyone and go out and find friends, or let them find you." - on not knowing anyone in L.A.

"Emilie is the heart and soul of the show, She is a breakout actress who breaks our hearts with a smile." (Giant Magazine 2005)

De Ravin might not come across as a master of self-promotion, but there's no denying she has what the industry describes as the X factor -- that bona fide, head-turning, one-in-a-million sparkle that agents recognise in an instant but struggle to define. - Herald Sun

haha yea, push up one side of the table and let the food/drink slide off onto Liz's clothes

and then Max gets mad. It was funny when he was angry.

Quote:

It certainly is, and not something i want to be subdued to.

and she was a bubbly character so why make her sad?

Good to make him mad when he's with Liz. He shouldn't be there anyway.

No need to make both us, and her sad. So ... don't?

there can be a drama-filled MT fic without having to make Tess not get her way.

There could be some past life issues that arise

. Something that they remember that they had an argument about not long before they died, they talk about it and still don't see eye to eye on the subject.
.... That's suggesting that they both flash on the same memory during a retrieval session.

... Was just a thought for some drama.

**LilMouse** · 05-13-2009, 07:01 PM

someone from the past (besides Kivar) can come to cause trouble. Like someone on their side can arrive and deliver baaaaad news.

smurF|roswell · 05-13-2009, 07:25 PM

.. Ava, your ex husband wants you back!

MagnusXXN · 05-13-2009, 11:23 PM

Ava! Where are you my goth princess?

): )

Are you saying Ava was married to someone before Zan?

smurF|roswell · 05-14-2009, 01:29 PM

Ha, no i don't believe that she would of been. But at the time i was very sleepy when replying and wasn't thinking.

What do you think the baaad news could be?

- That both their parents died and their last words were about wanting to have lived long enough to see their children again? And to bring them back to Antar ASAP!

**LilMouse** · 05-14-2009, 05:26 PM

I was going to say something like another alien race developed a weapon that'll destroy the planet.

smurF|roswell · 05-14-2009, 05:33 PM

Antar or earth? :o

Sounds like a good plot to get the R4 into actually doing something

**LilMouse** · 05-15-2009, 12:05 PM

I meant Antar. Because if it's Earth, Max & co. will save it, but they won't have a reason to leave the planet. If it's Antar maybe then they'll be motivated to leave Earth.
