With chameleon-like abilities to transform from a bubbly blonde to a tortured and tough brunette, Julie Benz captivates any room she walks into with her radiant beauty and infectious energy. Star of cult classics such as Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, and Roswell, Benz has never been one to shy away from challenging roles, and she continues her streak as a serial thriller alongside Sylvester Stallone in 2008's most anticipated action film, Rambo. Released on January 25th, Benz  performs grueling stunts as she stars as a missionary taken prisoner by sadistic Burmese soldiers.

She went brunette to play the vengeful blue-collar wife of a murdered cop in her next project, The Punisher: War Zone. Though her rise as a cult favorite heroine has won the hearts of many thrill-seekers, she's also appearing in successful chillers.  In the newest in the Saw series, Saw 5, she plays one of Jigsaw's latest victims. Benz will be returning to the big screen shortly after post-production wraps in the sequel to the cult classic Boondock Saints. In Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day, Julie will be reunited with the original cast, playing the only female lead.

When she's not headlining films, she stars in Showtime's two-time Golden Globe nominated, SAG Award nominated, and 2008 Emmy nominated hit series, Dexter, as Rita Bennett, the titular character's (award-winning Michael C. Hall) tormented girlfriend, oblivious to her partner's homicidal tendencies, a role for which she won a 2006 Golden Satellite Award for "Best Supporting TV Actress." Dexter's cult following and infectious plotline has prompted CBS to re-air the first season, which premiered February 17, and season four is set to air in September.
