Evangeline Lilly stars as Kate on ABC's "Lost."
Evangeline Lilly's combination of irresistible, playful charm and natural talent is earning her a reputation as one of the most promising young actresses in Hollywood.
Four years ago, Evangeline Lilly was discovered by a Ford agent on the streets of Kelowna, BC, but passed up an offer to sign with the agency to pursue the more aesthetic dream of working in international relations. Six months later, Evangeline Lilly moved to Vancouver to attend the University of British Columbia and decided to sign with Ford to help pay for tuition. After appearing in a few commercials, Evangeline Lilly chose to give up acting and focus on studying. A couple of years later, a friend urged her to give acting another shot, but when she landed the non-speaking roles of a corpse in both an episode of "Stephen King's Kingdom Hospital" and the upcoming film, "The Long Weekend," the prospect of an acting career didn't seem very enticing.
Evangeline Lilly finally caught the acting bug when she received her first speaking role as the unpredictable Kate in ABC's "Lost"—and she hopes that she never has to play a corpse again.
Evangeline Lilly founded and ran a world development and human rights committee at her university. She spent three weeks living under a grass hut in the jungles of the Philippines with a missionary group, and has been a volunteer for children's projects since the age of 14.
Fluent in French, Evangeline Lilly loves reading, writing, painting, music, nature, staying active, learning, tea and travel.
