Emily VanCamp was born on May 12, 1986 to her mother and animal nutritionist father in the small town of Port Perry, Ontario, Canada. Growing up, she was third in the family of four girls, so it can be said she was a hyper middle child. At the ripe young age of three, Emily started dancing all around her house. When she got older, she told her mother she wanted to move away from home to pursue it further. Her mother was hesitant, but supported her daughter nonetheless. At 11, Emily applied to L’Ecole Superieure de Danse de Quebec and when she was accepted, she moved there to study ballet, jazz, hip-hop, and tap.
She moved to Los Angeles in early 2002. Emily VanCamp first appeared in 2000’s Canadian television Are You Afraid of the Dark? as the character Peggy Gregory for the two episodes "The Tale of the Silver Sight: Part 2" and "The Tale of the Silver Sight: Part 3." Her next 2000’s role was in Jackie Bouvier Kennedy Onassis, in which she played the character of Jackie Bouvier at 13 years of age. She appeared again in 2000 in the television series Radio Active in the episode "Bully for You", portraying the character Becky Sue. In 2001 VanCamp appeared in Lost and Delirious playing Allison Moller. She also appeared in All Souls as Kirstin Caine, Johanna Wilson in Dice and in Glory Days as Sam Dolan.
She appeared in Redeemer as Alana and in The House on Turk Street as Connie. She next appeared as Jen Tyler in A Different Loyalty. She appeared in the short film Rings which bridged the gap between The Ring and The Ring Two in which she reprised her character from the short film. She also appeared in the 2006 film Black Irish as the character Kathleen.
In 2007, VanCamp joined the cast of Touchstone Television’s large ensemble series Brothers & Sisters as a regular late in the season, a move that marks her second teaming with Executive Producer Greg Berlanti (they were previously paired on Everwood). VanCamp’s character was introduced as the daughter of the late William Walker (Tom Skerritt) and his secret mistress, Holly Harper (Patricia Wettig), though it is later discovered that this is incorrect through DNA done in 2008.
VanCamp was dating Dave Annable, her on screen boyfriend in Brothers and Sisters; but, they have recently ended their relationship. Find Emily Vancamp Posters.
