A micro biography

Sienna Guillory (pronounced "Gil-ir-ee") is an English actress and former model. She was daughter to Isaac Guillory, an Anglo-Cuban folk guitarist, and the family environment gave her an interest in the entertainment industry. She has been featured in numerous British productions, and has gone on to roles in American productions. More recently, Sienna has appeared in a number of science-fiction and fantasy themed films aimed at teenage audiences. Sienna, who was sixteen and still at school, began her career with a role in the television series Jilly Cooper's Riders. Following more small television and film roles, she modelled for a few years to support her acting. She was featured in campaigns by Armani, Dolce & Gabbana, Burberry, and Paul Smith, but her biggest job was as the face of the Hugo Boss fragrance campaign from 1999 to 2002. Afterwards, Sienna focussed her career in mostly English and BBC productions; the BBC adaptation of Take a Girl Like You was something of a breakthrough role. However, she made her name in the United States in the USA television mini series Helen of Troy (2003), in which she played the title role. She went on to gain lead roles in films with a broader audience in the video game adaptation Resident Evil: Apocalypse (2004) as Jill Valentine and in the fantasy novel adaptation Eragon (2007) as elf princess Arya Dröttningu. Sienna will appear in yet another fantasy novel adaptation, the upcoming film Inkheart, as Resa. She will also star in the Fox television series The Oaks, as Jessica. The pilot is planned to begin filming in November 2007. The Oaks will be broadcast in 2008.

Sienna describes herself as eclectic and a magpie dresser. She is a fan of the fashion line Moschino, but is not keen on what she describes as "fashion jeans". Sienna has said that outside acting she "really enjoy writing. Much more than other people enjoy reading it."
