doing her solo

After working as a waitress in Vancouver and model in Toronto, Carrie-Anne Moss became the first member of her family to leave Canada, and set off to Europe at the age of 20 to pursue modeling.

Posing for cameras as a model took her from Europe to Japan and back, and eventually led to her first break in acting; a role in the CBS television series Dark Justice in 1991, filmed in Barcelona.

She returned to the US when the show relocated to LA, which in turn opened more doors for the porcelain-skin actress, one of which was a role in Outward Bound, at the Hudson Theater. After her stint on Dark Justice, Carrie-Anne studied at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts.
