Biography |
Dina Meyer is
an American film actress.
Meyer, who is of Jewish heritage, is said to have loved
dancing and acting from an early age, but it wasn't until
after she graduated from university that she started to work
to become an actress. She attended Long Island University,
where she majored in business administration. Among her
hobbies and interests are snowboarding, rollerblading and
biking. She currently lives in Los Angeles.
Meyer's film debut was in the TV film Strapped in 1993,
although her role in the cyberpunk thriller Johnny Mnemonic
was perhaps her breakthrough performance. Before that,
however, she also had a role in the TV series Beverly Hills
90210 as Lucinda Nicholson. In addition to Johnny Mnemonic,
she has had other roles in science fiction productions, such
as Starship Troopers, Bird of Prey and Star Trek: Nemesis.
Two of her most recent films were the 2004 horror/thriller
hit Saw and its 2005 sequel Saw II. She made several guest
appearances on Friends and Miss Match. She also played one
of the leads on the now canceled Point Pleasant. In March
2006 Meyer was in the series premiere episode of Thief as
Wanda the wife of Andre Braugher's character Nick. However,
her character was killed in the first episode in a car
wreck.
She will return as Kerry in the third instalment of the Saw
series Saw III in late 2006. |
