Eliza Dushku on "Dollhouse"

Eliza Dushku stars as Echo in FOX's "Dollhouse."

The daughter of an Albanian-American administrator father and Danish-American professor mother, Eliza Dushku was raised with ambition in her blood. At the early age of 10 years old, Eliza Dushku was discovered by casting agents for the lead role of "Alice" in the film "That Night." Eliza Dushku has never looked back.

Eliza Dushku was most recently seen co-starring along with Alan Rickman and Bill Pullman in "Bottle Shock," a drama about the birth of the Napa Valley wine country. The movie is directed by Randall Miller, who helmed another film in which Dushku stars, "Nobel Son." "Bottle Shock" was an official selection at the 2008 Sundance Film Festival. "Nobel Son" will be released in winter 2008.

In 1993, Eliza Dushku landed the role of "Pearl" alongside Robert De Niro and Leonardo DiCaprio in "This Boy's Life," a role that caught the attention of many in the industry. The following year, Eliza Dushku played the teenage daughter of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jamie Lee Curtis in "True Lies." Eliza Dushku played opposite Paul Reiser in "Bye Bye, Love" and Halle Berry in "Race the Sun."

After taking a break from acting to finish high school, Eliza Dushku was accepted to the George Washington University in Washington, DC, and Suffolk University in Boston, where her mother serves as professor of government and previously served as dean of the campus in Dakar, Senegal.

After completing high school, Eliza Dushku returned to acting with the role of Faith Lehane on "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," a slayer much more troubled than the main character "Buffy Summers." Though initially planned as a five-episode role, the character became so popular that Eliza Dushku stayed on for the entire third season and returned for a two-part appearance the following season. The remainder of her original story arc was played out in the first season of the "Buffy" spin-off, "Angel." Repentant and rededicated, Faith returned as a heroine in a number of further episodes of "Angel" and in the last five episodes of "Buffy."

Eliza Dushku resides in Los Angeles.

@JoannaDangelo And, I'm sorry - but Eliza Dushku isn't a strong enough actress to carry an entire show. Whedon or not.

I agree, Eliza Dushku was the weak link in Josh Whedon's Dollhouse - a pretty face, but acting was subpar for the main spot. - Enjoyable tho
