Ashley McCall Scott (born
July 13,
1977) is an
American actress. She is known for her work on
television and in
film, including her roles in the television series
Dark Angel,
Birds of Prey, and
Jericho.
Ashley Scott began her career as a young girl when she began
modeling. While living in
Charleston, South Carolina, she entered a
Millie Lewis Convention and won her division. After her sophomore year of high school, the 15-year-old went to
New York City to pursue her modeling career. She eventually became a model for
Elite Miami. Scott settled in
Miami, where she became a catalog model, and a
Giorgio Red spokesmodel. She appeared in fashion shows in Miami,
Paris, and
London.
She has appeared on the cover of the
The Hollywood Reporter and has been tracked by photographers from such publications as
WWD,
US Weekly and
Cosmo Girl.
Scott's audition for an
Al Pacino film led her tape to a casting person at
DreamWorks. She was subsequently cast in the small role of Gigolo Jane in the feature film
AI: Artificial Intelligence, where she shared screen time with
Jude Law's Gigolo Joe.
In 2001, Scott broke into
television when she was cast as Asha Barlow in the second season of
Fox's
science-fiction series
Dark Angel, playing an ally to cyberjournalist Logan Cale (
Michael Weatherly) and part of a group formed to expose government corruption. She was eventually upgraded from guest performer to recurring player.
In February 2002, while still featured in her recurring role on
Dark Angel, Scott was cast as Helena Kyle a.k.a the
Huntress in the pilot for a
WB series about post-
Batman Gotham City and a trio of female crime fighters known as the
Birds of Prey (loosely based on the
DC Comics series of the same name). The series had a short run, ending mid-season. She was then cast in the pilot of the
NBC Matt LeBlanc sitcom
Joey in 2004, but she was replaced by
Andrea Anders. From 2006 to 2008, she played Emily Sullivan in the
CBS drama

cameo appearance in the video for
Jamie Foxx's Blame It.
Scott has appeared in feature films including
