Jewel Staite
Actor
Los Angeles, CA
Biography:
Born in White Rock, British Columbia, Jewel Staite knew she was destined for the screen at the tender age of six. Her first calling was fashion, but as most fashion executives are prejudiced against six year old designers, she decided to temporarily move into the acting field. A dozen commercials, made-for-television movies, and guest starring roles later, she appeared as the spunky Saturnian alien "Catalina" in the short-lived sci-fi series "Space Cases", on Nickelodeon. Numerous television appearances followed, including a lead role in "Flash Forward", starring Ben Foster, as well as "Higher Ground" with Hayden Christensen, and several recurring roles on "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids!", Canada's "Da Vinci's Inquest", and NBC's "Just Deal". to name just a few.
To her fans, her most memorable role so far has been "Kaylee", the beloved mechanic on Fox's "Firefly", which later became the major motion picture "Serenity", in which Jewel reprised her role. Since then, she starred as the deliciously hateful character "Heidi" in Bryan Fuller's "Wonderfalls, as well as "Dr. Jennifer Keller" in Syfy's "Stargate: Atlantis".
