Emily Deschanel - Biography
Emily Erin Deschanel, born on October 11, 1976, is an American actress best known for her role as Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan in the crime drama series "Bones". Despite her Hollywood background, Emily Deschanel spent a long time in unnoticed minor roles and insignificant supporting episodes. Although her father, Caleb Deschanel, was already a renowned figure in the film industry, his stunning work on "The Right Stuff" in 1983 and "The Natural" in 1984 earned him Oscar nominations. However, Emily chose to carve her own path to fame and faced a difficult journey until she landed the role of the gloomy and sharp forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan in the Fox TV series "Bones". Even at this stage of her career, it couldn't be called a success; however, the show garnered decent ratings by the channel's standards, and Deschanel continued to shine alongside her co-star David Boreanaz. Their duo was surprisingly well-played and transformed the rather ordinary police drama into a distinctive and character-driven series.
Early Life and Family
Deschanel was born in Los Angeles, California. Not only was her father involved in the film business, her mother Mary Jo was an actress, and her younger sister, Zooey, is equally famous. Deschanel's first role was in the 1994 romantic comedy "It Could Happen to You" alongside Nicolas Cage and Bridget Fonda, which also featured her father as the cinematographer. After completing her theater arts education at Boston University, Emily took her craft seriously. It all began with a small role in the Stephen King drama "Rose Red". She then had guest appearances on television shows such as "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit", "Providence", and "Crossing Jordan". Gradually, the quality of her roles improved, as seen in the 2003 romantic comedy "Easy". This was followed by small roles in "Cold Mountain", "Spider-Man 2", and "The Alamo". In 2005, Deschanel portrayed the friend of the main character in the horror film "The Boogeyman". Soon after, her acting career finally began to soar when she was cast in the lead role in the TV series "Bones".
