Samaire Armstrong - Ghoulish Beginnings
Born in Tokyo on Halloween, Samaire lived in Japan with her parents for the first few years of her life before moving to Hawaii, and later, to Arizona. Growing up in Arizona, Samaire took part in many school plays, but it wasn't until she was part-way through high school that she turned her attention to acting. Before that, she'd focused her attention on playing volleyball!Samaire Armstrong - Not Another Teen Actress
When Samaire graduated high school she set out for LA as soon as she could. Fate seemed to be on her side as she landed a part in the short-lived TV series, Freaks and Geeks. Despite the show being cancelled, it led to new opportunities like a role in the spoof, Not Another Teen Movie.Samaire Armstrong - SoCal Sister
Samaire's biggest break definitely came when she joined the cast of The O.C. as new girl, Anna Stern, straight from Pittsburgh. For a while, it seemed like Samaire's character would wind up with Adam Brody's character, Seth, but after 14 episodes, Anna left Orange County for good - or so we thought. Season three sees Anna return for a few episodes, just to stir up a little drama! During her break from the southern Californian teen drama, Samaire played the part of Emily on the HBO comedy, Entourage, for several episodes. In 2006, you can look forward to Samaire's move to the big screen - she's starring in two flicks, Stay Alive and [kwlink]Just My Luck[/kwlink] with Lindsay Lohan!Samaire Armstrong - Did U Know?
