Jenna Boyd(I)
- Actress
Born in Bedford, Texas, on March 4, 1993, the multi-talented Jenna Boyd
has been "on the go" in her life since the age of 2. Her mother,
Debbie, entered Jenna into a modeling search when she was two years
old. Her enthusiasm and sweet nature captured the hearts of agents who
informed her mother to send Jenna to agencies. Soon enough, Jenna was
appearing in commercials and print ads, and was cast as one of the
young kids in The Barney Show.
A few years later, the family moved to Atlanta, Georgia, because of work commitments involving Jenna's father, Mike, who now flies for Delta Air. Jenna's agent in Atlanta urged Debbie to temporarily move to Los Angeles, California, to audition. It worked, and Jenna was quickly cast in the TV shows Đội Điều Tra Hiện Trường (2000), Just Shoot Me! (1997), Titus (1999), and Dưới Sáu Tấc Đất (2001). Jenna also appeared in the feature TV-movie Mary Christmas (2002) where she played the lead character, Felice. Jenna's first foray into film was a small part in Quỷ Ám (1973) director William Friedkin's Cuộc Săn Đuổi (2003) where she played daughter to Benicio Del Toro's character; the film also stars Tommy Lee Jones. She then appeared in Sam Weisman's Ước Mơ Trở Thành Ngôi Sao (2003) playing star David Spade's "adopted" daughter Sally. Jenna's biggest breakthrough came in Ron Howard's (Night Shift (1982), Apollo 13: Bí Ẩn Mặt Trăng (1995)) 2003 film The Missing (2003), where she received critical acclaim for her haunting portrayal of Dot Gilkenson, daughter of Cate Blanchett's character. (This was Jenna's second time working with Tommy Lee Jones.) Besides acting, Jenna Boyd is also an award-winning skater.
On the ice as early as 5:15 in the morning, Jenna's determination in her skating has already led her to master the double jump move, which is very successful for the 11-year old (her favorite skater is Tara Lipinski). Despite the hectic schedule of juggling skating, school (she's a straight-A student) and acting, Jenna is gifted and strong enough to handle it all.
Jenna's other hobbies include running a spy club with her friends, horseback riding, attending church, making homemade perfumes and spending time with her brother, Cayden, who is also an up-and-coming actor (last seen in Clint Eastwood's 2003 film Dòng Sông Kì Bí (2003) as the son to the Tim Robbins character). Jenna Boyd currently resides in Los Angeles.
