Spunky child star Alexa Vega shot to fame in 2001 as one of the young secret agents in the 007 spoof Spy Kids. Vega spent her early years living on a nearby Florida farm. Vega was four when her family relocated to California. Once there, her mother got a job with a talent agency. Inspired by Vega's precocity, her mother brought her to an audition for Burt Reynolds' TV series "Evening Shade" - she landed the two-year stint on her first try.

Vega worked continuously ever since, landing guest starring roles on "ER" and "Chicago Hope," and appearing in Little Giants (1994) and Nine Months (1995). After portraying a young Helen Hunt in Twister (1996), she played Steven Segal's daughter in The Glimmer Man (1996), Alec Baldwin's daughter in Ghosts of Mississippi (1996), and Michelle Pfeiffer's daughter in The Deep End of the Ocean (1999). Vega returned to series television as Alfred Molina's daughter in CBS' short lived sitcom "Ladies Man," before taking center stage in Spy Kids (2001) and it's two sequels. Soon after that was, Sleepover (2004), and she continued to act in movies such as State's Evidence (2006), Odd Girl Out (2005), Walkout (2006), Marrying God (2006) and The Beautiful Ordinary (2007).

In 2007 Vega, moved to New York for six months and starred as Penny Pingleton in the Broadway musical "Hairspray." Vega also starred in Repo! The Genetic Opera (2008), Helix (2008), and will be in the upcoming films Broken Hill (2009), The Mine (2009), and Cafe (2010).
