Lauren Lee Smith: The Star of the new "Christy" is a woman of many faces
Tony Bray
In the movie Get Carter with Sylvester Stallone, who did you work with?
That picture was really my very first sort of acting job other than commercials, and it was just a tiny, tiny little part. The way that they cut it you only see me for about two seconds. I worked with Rhona Mitra who is now on "Gideon's Crossing" and that's pretty much it.
So you didn't get shot?
No, I played a girl that had been given the date rape drug and I was taken in this van and kidnapped. They just showed little clips of it.

Em Appeal!

Mutant X's new recruit Lauren Lee Smith tells Steven Eramo why she's glad to be playing a girl next door with something x-tra
....
She made her debut in the 2000 feature film Get Carter starring Sylvester Stallone. “I was pretty much a glorified extra,” she recalls. “I played a girl that had been given the date rape drug. It was an unforgettable first role for me because I was extremely nervous and really wasn’t sure what I was doing. At one point the director said to me, ‘OK, I want you to improv,’ and I thought, ‘I’d love to improv, but how?’ Somehow I made it through that job and actually went on to get others.

Simply De-Lovely

The young Canadian has since appeared in such series as the boyband comedy 2Gether, James Cameron's Sci-Fi adventure Dark Angel, the period piece mini-series Christy, and the Sylvester Stallone feature film Get Carter. "Get Carter was my first job," says Smith. "It was... interesting. I didn't know what I was going to be doing, it was sort of this little improv job. I played this girl that was given a date rape drug and I got there, and before I knew it I was done. But everyone always says, 'Hey! You were in Get Carter!'"
