BIOGRAPHY
Trained at Columbia University, Amanda Peet studied comedy with Uta Hagen and made her cinema debut in Animal Room , a science fiction film by Craig Singer . From 1995, she appeared in the credits of the television series Central Park West and multiplied small roles in numerous romantic comedies such as Little Lies Between Brothers (1996), A Beautiful Day (id.), The Map of the Heart (1998) and even Simply Irresistible (1999).

But it was in 1999, with the series Jack & Jill and her interpretation of an active and loving young woman, that Amanda Peet truly confirmed her talents as an actress. Her top model physique no longer goes unnoticed and has led her to specialize in the teen movie genre ( Sexe Attitudes , Diablesse ). Often confined to the roles of charming wife ( Uncontrolled Slippages ) or simple lover ( Igby , Anything Can Happen , 7 Years of Seduction ), she tries to diversify her repertoire by playing Ashley Judd ‘s rebellious sister in Crimes and Power (2001). ) as well as a dashing apprentice killer alongside Bruce Willis in My Neighbor the Killer (2000).

Little by little, her roles take on depth: we find her in the credits of the thriller Identity (2003) alongside John Cusack – an actor she will meet again on the set of A Child Not Like Others (2009). ) and the 2012 blockbuster (id.), in front of Woody Allen ‘s camera for the needs of Melinda and Melinda (2004), in the choral film Syriana (2006) opposite George Clooney and Matt Damon , or even in the second film released from the cult series about the little green men, X Files – Regeneration (2008). At the same time, Amanda Peet is active on the small screen, appearing in the series Seinfeld , Spin City , New York District , How I Met Your Mother and The Good Wife . She also had a regular role in Bent , canceled after 6 episodes.

Eternal second knife, the actress then joined Jack Blackin Gulliver’s Travels , then reunited with Jason Bateman , six years after their first collaboration on His Ex and Me , for the lucrative cheeky comedy Scam à la carte (2013).
