Carrie-Anne Moss

Carrie-Anne Moss played tough and tender Trinity in the trilogy of movies starting with The Matrix (1999, with Keanu Reeves). A native of British Columbia, she broke into the entertainment business as a model. Work in Europe led to a TV role in 1991's Dark Justice, an American television series produced in Spain. The production relocated to Los Angeles and Moss followed, subsequently working on stage and in television until being cast in The Matrix as Trinity, the sleek tutor, fellow freedom-fighter, and lover to Reeve's heroic Neo. In 2000 Moss appeared in three other high-profile movies, Red Planet (co-starring Benjamin Bratt), Memento, and Chocolat (starring Juliette Binoche). She also starred in the sequels The Matrix Reloaded (2003) and The Matrix Revolutions (also 2003). She returned to the big screen in 2004's Suspect Zero (with Ben Kingsley), and in 2007 appeared in both Normal and Disturbia (with Shia LaBeouf).
