Rebecca Romijn
When model Rebecca Romijn turned to acting after years on the fashion runways and in the pages of "Sports Illustrated," Hollywood attempted in vain to typecast her as a wild heartbreaker. After a few plunges into sexually charged drama, the statuesque beauty surprisingly found a more natural fit in comedies. However, it was Romijn's portrayal of Mystique in the blockbuster "X-Men" franchise that instantly transformed her into a sex symbol with the comic book crowd and led to a surge in her popularity with the general public. But her continuing struggle against typecasting as one-dimensional eye-candy eventually earned Romijn excellent opportunities on television. With her quick wit and sometimes goofy personality, she proved an appealing supporting comedienne on "Ugly Betty" (ABC, 2006-10) and her own unfortunately ill-marketed vehicle, "Pepper Dennis" (WB, 2005-06), both of which helped usher in a new era of comedic television roles for the down-to-earth bombshell who was that rare commodity - beloved by both men and women. She was also a regular on "Eastwick" (ABC, 2009), an unfortunately short-lived reboot of "The Witches of Eastwick," and the TNT detective series "King & Maxwell" (2013). She also hosted the reality competition show "Skin Wars" (2014-16). New success came when she was cast on the series "The Librarians" (TNT, 2014- ), a reboot of the "Librarian" series of TV movies starring Noah Wyle. Developed by John Rogers after his heist series "Leverage" (TNT, 2008-12) went off the air, "The Librarians" offered Romijn a chance to showcase both her comedic abilities and her action-star qualities, playing a well-rounded, complex character in a fun and adventurous setting.
