Odette Annable: A Star on the Rise
Early Life and Family BackgroundOdette Annable was born in Los Angeles, California, to a Cuban mother and a Colombian father of French and Italian descent. She grew up speaking fluent Spanish. Growing up, she attended Loyola Marymount University, initially considering a career in entrepreneurship. However, her family's financial stability afforded her the opportunity to pursue her passion for acting.
Early Acting Roles
Annable made her film debut as a child in the comedy "Kindergarten Cop" (1990) alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger. She followed up with small roles in "Dear God" (1996) and the television film "Remembrance" (1996). After graduating from high school, she combined her acting career with modeling while appearing in television shows such as "South Beach" (2006) and "October Road" (2007).
Breakthrough Role in "South Beach"
Annable's breakout television role came in the short-lived series "South Beach" (2006). This role propelled her career to new heights. In 2007, she secured a leading role in "Reckless Behavior: Caught on Tape" and a major role in J.J. Abrams' "Cloverfield" (2008). She also had a supporting role in Michael Bay's "Transformers" (2007).
Movie and Video Game Roles
Annable's versatility extends to film and video game roles. She voiced Amara in the popular video game "Fallout 3" (2008). In 2008, she was cast in the horror film "The Unborn" (2009), which generated controversy due to its noticeably sexualized promotional imagery.
Recent Projects and Awards
Annable has since appeared in several films, including "Rogue's Gallery" (2008), "And Soon the Darkness" (2010), and "You Again" (2010). Critics have praised her performance in "Cloverfield," suggesting that her current roles do not fully showcase her talent. In 2008, she received a nomination for a Teen Choice Award for "Choice Horror/Thriller Actress" for her role in "Cloverfield."
