[Profiles] Autumn Reeser - California Model -Biography

Autumn was born in 1980, in La Jolla, California, the daughter of Kim and Tom Reeser, and older sister of Melissa. She was raised in Carlsbad and Oceanside, and performed in numerous musicals with the Carlsbad Youth Theater from the ages of six to seventeen. She credits seeing a child portray a mouse in a local performance of 'Cinderella' as the moment that interested her in acting. As a child, Autumn was an avid reader, and won an award from her local library for 'Most Books Read in One Summer.' Her favorite books included the Nancy Drew, Encyclopedia Brown, and Linda Craig detective series. She was a good student, involved in the Gifted and Talented Program, and was a recipient of a Scholastic award for her part as a preteen reporter in a documentary on the local homeless. She attended Carlsbad High School, where she participated in French club, cheerleading, and school plays, and worked at the clothing shop Wet Seal on the weekends.

At the age of 17, Autumn moved to Los Angeles to study at UCLA and pursue an acting career. To support herself she waitressed in the evenings at Jerry's Famous Deli, the Gypsy Cafe, and Cafe 50's in Westwood. Eventually she began interning at a casting directors office, where she learned 'the ins and outs' of the film and television business. She quickly landed a manager and agent, and booked her first role, an alien girl on 'Star Trek: Voyager' at the age of 20. Her career progressed to numerous guest-starring roles on sitcoms such as 'The George Lopez Show' and 'Grounded For Life', and dramas such as 'Cold Case' and 'CSI'. Her breakout role came in 2005, as the quirky-cute and socially awkward Taylor Townsend on the final 2 seasons of 'The OC', for which she received high critical acclaim. She's also known for her role as firecracker junior agent Lizzie Grant on HBO's 'Entourage' and can currently be seen as scientist Katie Andrews in ABC's 'No Ordinary Family.'

Autumn currently lives in Los Feliz, California with her husband, Jesse Warren, dogs Sadie and Gatsby and an ever-growing baby bump.
