|
Born in Pennsylvania, Julie Benz's father is a Pittsburgh surgeon, her mother an ice
skater. The family settled in nearby Murrsyville, PA when Julie was two, and she stared
ice stakting at age three. She competed in the 1988 U.S. Championships in junior ice
dancing with her partner David Schilling, coming in 13th. Her older brother and sister,
Jeffrey and Jennifer, were in the 1987 U.S. Junior Champions in ice dancing and competed
internationally. When Julie was 14, she had a bad stress fracture and had to take time
off. By 1989, with her ice skating career over, Julie turned to acting and got involved
in the local theater where she got a role in the play Street Law. Her first movie role
was a small, credited, speaking part in in the Black Cat episode in the Dario
Argento/George A. Romero co-direction horror flick, Due occhi diabolici (1990)
playing in one scene alongside Harvey Keitel. A year later, she got a role on a TV
show called "Hi Honey, I'm Home" (1991). After graduating from high school, Julie
entered New York University to study acting there. After graduation, Julie moved
to Los Angeles to further pursue her career and landed some small roles in movies
and TV including a guest appearance on "Married... with Children" (1987) and in the
Aaron Spelling TV pilot "Cross Town Traffic". In early 1997, Julie auditioned for
the role of Buffy in the series "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" (1997), but lost out to
Sarah Michelle Gellar. However, she was offered a small role as a vampire girl in
which she did such a good job that her part was expanded to a few more episodes in
playing the vamp Darla. With that, Julie Benz's career had finally taken off. She
has also revised her role as Darla in the Buffy spinoff series "Angel" (1999/I)
for two years and has has various minor and small roles in various film productions.
She also had a small, but memorable, role playing a receptionist in the movie
As Good As It Gets (1997).
