Evangeline Lilly…UH YUMP!!!

Evangeline Lilly is yet another yumpable Canadien.  Born in Alberta she made her acting debut in 2002 in a guest spot on the WB series Smallville.  She was in her first film as an uncredited extra (high school girl leaning on a locker) in 2003′s Freddy vs. Jason.  Her first ever speaking role was as Kate Austen on ABC’s Lost. She didn’t land her first speaking role without drama however; when she was cast as Kate in Lost, her main concern was acquiring a work visa to enter the United States. With production literally days away and no news about the visa, casting directors were forced to grudgingly begin re-casting the role of Kate. After nearly 20 auditions, Lilly’s work visa was approved/cleared but she arrived on set a day late.

You should check out Lost now because Lilly has recently announced that, once she has finished filming Lost, she plans to stop acting and pursue a career as a humanitarian worker; however she has not ruled out returning to TV at some point in the future. Evangeline Lilly…UH YUMP!!!
