Biography:
Best known to TV audiences for her role as Faith on Buffy the Vampire
Slayer, Eliza Dushku also has a number of films to her name. Eliza
began acting professionally when she was barely in her teens. She
made her film debut starring opposite Juliette Lewis in the 1992 period
drama That Night. Born of Albanian-Danish descent in Boston, MA,
Eliza grew up the youngest sibling of three older brothers. She was
raised in a staunch Mormon household and signs for the deaf at the Watertown
Children's Theatre in Boston. In1998, Eliza got one of her biggest
breaks to date when she was cast as the troubled slayer Faith on Buffy.
Although Faith was only meant to appear in a handful of episodes, the show's
creators liked Eliza enough to make Faith a recurring character, and also
featured her on Angel, Buffy's spin-off. Eliza had perhaps her most
successful big-screen role to date in Bring It On, a high-school comedy
that cast her as Kirsten Dunst's reluctant but tough fellow cheerleader.
Joss Whedon, Writer of "Buffy The Vampire Slayer," has been eagerly waiting
to reprise her role of the evil vampire slayer, Faith, since January 2001,
but due to her hectic film schedule Eliza has not have time to return to
the show.
