Carly Pope - Fact Sheet

Profession: Actress

After some acting experience under her belt, Pope returned to Canada to attend her first semester of college at the University of British Columbia, but she only completed the first six months. The WB had given her the nod to play Samantha McPherson on the new show Popular. With that, Carly packed up and moved to Los Angeles. Upon arrival, she immediately found film work, with roles in the made-for-TV movies Our Guys: Outrage at Glen Ridge and A Cooler Climate, which starred Sally Field and Judy Davis. Fortunately for Pope and co-star Leslie Bibb, Popular lived up to its name. Aside from winning a cult following, it earned the attention of industry watchers, who noted its impressive performance in the dreaded, 8 p.m. Thursday slot, going head to head with Friends. Additionally, it won Pope her own league of admirers as Sam, queen of the high school geeks. But despite some critical acclaim, Popular was canceled in 2001, to the dismay of its fans. Carly, however, did not remain in mourning for very long; she raised the bar for herself and became highly prolific. In 2001, Pope could be seen in the small-budget film Finder's Fee, directed by Survivor host Jeff Probst and co-starring screen legend James Earl Jones, and The Glass House, with Leelee Sobieski and Diane Lane.
