Melissa Biggs
- Actress
- Casting Department
Melissa Biggs spent the first nine years of her life in a log cabin
with her family outside of a small town in Oregon. Her father was a
general contractor and her mother was a legal secretary. After the
family left that rural existence they moved frequently, and Melissa
attended 14 grammar schools before finally settling down at Chico State
University, where she studied English and drama. She had done some
modeling work in Portland, Oregon, as a child, but it wasn't until high
school that she decided that her dream was to become an actress, and
she was encouraged in that pursuit by an English teacher who was
impressed by her exceptional reading and speaking skills. She has since
appeared in such TV shows as Baywatch (1989), made-for-TV films as The Disappearance of Nora (1993) and
films including Rush Hour 2 (2001).
