Biography |
Alona Tal (born October 20, 1983 in Herzelia, Israel) is an
Israeli actress.
Tal started her career fresh out of the Israeli army, with a
children's musical video tape, in which she played an evil
witch. Following that, she appeared in a commercial for a
laundry detergent. After that she got the lead role in the
Israeli film Lihiyot Kohav (Being a Star).
During the filming of the movie, she was offered two roles
in two different Israeli television shows, and she took
both. The first was a soap opera named "Tzimerim" about the
life of a family that runs a hotel; the second one was "The
Pyjamas", a sitcom about a struggling band, determined to
make it in the real world. This sitcom ran for four seasons,
and gave Tal the chance to show her musical talent. Although
she was the main character only in the first three seasons,
she appeared in the fourth season for several episodes.
Following that, Tal recorded several songs with Israeli
rapper Subliminal.
Seeking some rest from her busy schedule, Tal went to New
York to live with her sister. In New York, she met singer
Wyclef Jean and recorded a song with him (the song Party to
Damascus has Tal singing the chorus in Hebrew). In a recent
interview he referred to himself as her mentor, seeking to
help her with her true passion, music.
She then got the recurring role of Meg Manning, one of
Veronica's only remaining 09'er friends, in the UPN
television series Veronica Mars. Tal had originally
auditioned for Veronica Mars, and was Rob Thomas' second
choice for the title role. Thomas liked her so much that he
created the recurring role of Meg Manning specifically for
her.
Tal had a cameo appearance on CSI: Crime Scene
Investigation. She is also guest-starring in a recurring
role as Jo Harvelle on Supernatural.
Tal married actor Marcos Ferraez on June 5, 2007. |
