Introduction

Always the lover of sports, Missy took a job as a basketball coach after she graduated high school, but she was far too good looking to waste her time with that so she tried modeling instead.

Life Story

Born in Montreal and raised in Surrey, British Columbia she began modeling and appearing in Canadian advertisements when she was 18. Her first acting role was a guest spot on the short lived Jessica Alba series “Dark Angel.” Following several more guest appearances, she was cast as a regular on two series: Black Sash (WB) and Life As We Know It (ABC). Despite having never starred in a movie or done gymnastics she was cast as the lead in Stick It (2006) a movie about gymnastics that featured fellow Canadian babe Vanessa Lengies. For the part she moved to L.A. and trained for four months, six hours per day, prior to the filming, so that her scenes would look realistic when spliced with her stunt double's work. After "Stick It" she starred in the Toronto based TV film, "Wide Awake" and alongside Ali Larter and Hayden Panettiere on NBC's “Heroes” as “Candace Wilmer” the illusion generating temptress. She left L.A. in the summer of 2007 and returned to her native Vancouver after she landed what may be her best role to date, Andi Prendergast, the love interest for the main character on the amazingly funny dark comedy, “Reaper”, which aired on the CW Network from 2007-2009. Returning to L.A. after the cancellation of Reaper, she was quickly signed for a new television show, "Copper", which filmed in the last half of 2009 in Toronto and will be broadcast on ABC sometime in 2010.
