Michelle Rodriguez - Fact Sheet

Profession: Actress

Thrust into the working life somewhat prematurely, Michelle began her work in the entertainment business as an extra. She appeared, albeit marginally, in a number of major feature films, including Spike Lee's Summer of Sam and 1999's Cradle Will Rock. Well-versed in the workings of the industry by the age of 20, Michelle went for her first professional audition, one which, despite its surface appearances, went marvelously smoothly. While showing up hours late and giving the casting directors attitude would normally be considered two surefire ways to not get a job, in this instance, they worked in Michelle's favor, taken as they were reflections of character traits well-suited to the role in question. Michelle was chosen over 350 other applicants, and immediately began preparing to take on the leading part of Diana Guzman in Girlfight. Michelle's second ever professional audition also resulted in a role, this time opposite Vin Diesel and Jordana Brewster in the 2001 summer blockbuster hit, The Fast and the Furious.
