Christian Serratos

The undeniably talented CHRISTIAN SERRATOS is one of the hottest new actresses in young Hollywood, playing her roles with the perfect combination of confidence and humbleness.

She reprises her role as Bella’s high school friend - the genuinely nice and honest Angela – from Summit Entertainment’s Twilight Saga movies.

Her other projects include the Lip Service and the 96 Minutes, which won the Jury Award for Breakthrough Performance for her co-star Evan Ross at the SXSW Film Festival.

Her first major role was "Suzie Crabgrass" on Nickelodeon’s "Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide," which ran for three seasons and included a TV movie titled "Ned’s Movie." The show aired in seventeen countries.

Serratos, a full-time vegetarian, is the exotic new face of PETA’s controversial "I’d Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur" campaign. She posed nude for PETA’s anti-fur advertisements - following stars such as Christina Applegate, Eva Mendes, Khloe Kardasian, and Charlize Theron. Serratos was also named one of PEOPLE Magazine’s 100 Most Beautiful People.

An only child, Serratos was raised in Burbank, California by her Italian/Mexican mother, a jewelry designer, and her Italian/Irish father, a veteran set construction worker. Born in Pasadena, Serratos visited her father’s sets before she was even able to talk, and by three years old, she began working as an extra on shows like "The Drew Carey Show" and "Coach."

At the age of seven, she was signed to powerhouse Ford Modeling Agency. Throughout her time acting and modeling, Serratos also trained and competed as a figure skater beginning at age three and actively competed for 10 years.

Her other television credits include guest starring roles on "Zoey 101," "7 th Heaven," and Disney’s "Hannah Montana."

Serratos enjoys playing guitar and singing, and she also has an obsession with going to the beach. The star - whose favorite foods are pasta and pizza - loves to try new restaurants.
