Personal life

Peregrym was born in Montreal, Quebec, to a minister and a homemaker. Peregrym has lived most of her life in Surrey, British Columbia where she attended Fleetwood Park Secondary School.[citation needed] She describes herself as having been a "tomboy" while growing up,[1] and she babysat the neighbor kids and was heavily involved in high school athletics including Soccer, Field Hockey, Snowboarding, Basketball and outdoor sports on the local Vancouver mountains. She dated Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger while living in the U.S. She previously lived in Los Angeles, but moved to Toronto for filming the police drama Rookie Blue[citation needed].

Career

Peregrym began modeling at the age of eighteen with Lizbell Agency, she has appeared in commercials for Mercedes-Benz, Sprint Canada, and the Olympics. She made her acting debut in a 2000 episode of the television series Dark Angel, and spent the next several years appearing in television roles, including episodes of The Chris Isaak Show, Black Sash, Jake 2.0, Smallville, Tru Calling, Life as We Know It, Andromeda, Heroes, and in the made-for-television film Call Me: the Rise and Fall of Heidi Fleiss.

After an uncredited role in 2004's Catwoman, Peregrym made her film debut playing the lead role in 2006's Stick It, which is a film about a rebellious teenager who is forced to return to her former life in gymnastics but ends up liking her old life and continues to live it.

Peregrym portrayed illusion-generating Candice Wilmer on the television series Heroes. Billed in promotional materials as "a female temptress" set to appear in the episode titled Parasite, she actually debuted in a non-speaking role the prior week. She was cast in The CW's television series Reaper as the female lead, in the role that was originally intended to be played by Nikki Reed, according to the Hollywood Reporter[citation needed]. Reaper was about a young man named Sam who became a bounty hunter for the devil. Missy played the role of Sam's love interest, Andi.[2]

Peregrym currently stars in the lead role of Officer Andy McNally in the hit police drama Rookie Blue, which airs simultaneously in North America on Global TV in Canada and on ABC in the U.S. Because of wintry weather logistics, filming must begin roughly one year in advance of airing, so the premiere season, set to debut in June 2010, began filming in August 2009. Ratings for the drama were so solid for ABC that it renewed the show for a second season after only three episodes[citation needed].

ABC has announced after only a few episodes that it was picking up Rookie Blue for a third season to air in the summer of 2012. [3]

Charity

Peregrym took part in the TOMS shoe drop in Argentina in 2006.

Awards and nominations

In 2008 she was nominated for a Leo at the Leo Awards for Best Lead Performance by a Female in the Dramatic Series Reaper episode "Love, Bullets, and Blacktop".
