Biography
About Emily VanCamp
Emily VanCamp's path to acting began with dance. She started studying dance at age three and, at 11, convinced her parents to let her attend a summer training program in Montreal. At 12, she was accepted into the École supérieure de ballet du Québec, the training program of Les Grands Ballets Canadiens, and moved in with a local French Canadian family. Her career took a turn in 1998 when she visited her sister Katie on the set of the film Ladies Room, sparking an interest in acting. She started taking Saturday acting classes, found an agent, and after a few commercials, landed a small role in the Canadian children's series Are You Afraid of the Dark?, appearing in one scene with no dialogue opposite a 17-year-old Elisha Cuthbert.
Born in Port Perry, Ontario, Emily is the third of four daughters. Her father, an animal nutritionist, gave her a first job delivering food to clients around her hometown. She went on to become a Canadian actress known for lead roles in notable television series, including Everwood, Brothers & Sisters, and Revenge. She also played Sharon Carter, also known as Agent 13, in Captain America: The Winter Soldier and Captain America: Civil War. More recently, she starred as the female lead in the medical drama The Resident, which debuted in January 2018. In the MCU, her character served as Steve Rogers' SHIELD bodyguard and occasional love interest, a dynamic made complicated by Rogers' past with her grandmother. At 40 years old, Emily stands 5'8" with a build that is average in type. She has blonde hair and brown eyes, with measurements of 36-24-35 and a bra cup size of 36C. Her long career spans over 28 years, starting when she was around 12 years old. She continues to be recognized as a Canadian television and film presence, with a substantial social media following.
