Chyler Leigh stars as Meredith Grey's sister, Dr. Lexie Grey, on ABC's "Grey's Anatomy."

Born in Charlotte, North Carolina and raised in Virginia Beach and Miami Beach, Chyler Leigh began her career in front of the camera at age twelve, modeling for magazines and catalogues. Her success in print later led to national commercials for Coca Cola and Wendy's, among others.

By age 16, Chyler Leigh had already completed several pilots (ABC's "Wilder Days" and the WB's "Saving Graces"). Aaron Spelling confirmed the young actress' talent when he hired her a few years later as a series regular in the WB series "Safe Harbor." Chyler Leigh also guest-starred on "7th Heaven" in a powerful three-story arc as Frankie, a young, inept mother who adversely influenced the family.

Chyler Leigh made her film debut in the Columbia/Tri-Star hit comedy spoof, "Not Another Teen Movie," in 2001. By January of 2002 Chyler Leigh would landed a series role on the comedy "That '80s Show" (from the producers of "That '70s Show"). After its short-lived run, Chyler Leigh was immediately brought to executive producer David E. Kelley and hired as lead in his new series, "Girls Club."

After only two episodes of "Girls Club" had aired, Chyler Leigh received a personal phone call from Kelley informing her of the show's cancellation and of his desire to bring her forward to his already established series, "The Practice." With only a matter of weeks between shows, Chyler Leigh was at work on the set of ABC's "The Practice" as Claire Wyatt, a new series regular for the 2002-03 season.

Chyler Leigh went on to star in the half hour comedy pilot "Lucky Us" and the drama pilot "Rocky Point," opposite Billy Campbell. Chyler Leigh also guest starred on the drama "The North Shore" and, in 2005, starred as Carla Noll in the critically-acclaimed "Reunion."

Chyler Leigh is married to fellow actor Nathan West. She and West have two children.
