About
WHIPPED: "It was a really fun shoot. I was
surrounded by men all day long and just had to
put them in their place--which was a fun job." |

Amanda
Peet was born and raised in New York City. After finishing
high school she went to Columbia University where one
of her fellow students convinced her to audition for a
couple of off Broadway plays. She worked hard during this
phase in her life and auditioned in a seemlessly endless
line of theatre productions. She did a couple of commercials
and finally landed a role on the hit show Law & Order
and finally got roles in successful films like Identity
and The Whole Nine Yards. This coming from a girl who
thought drama was a hobby when she was in college in New
York.

The
one questionable experience of her acting career so far
was when she did a nude scene in the film, The Whole Nine
Yards. She lived off of waitressing, working for City
Crab and living off of royalties for her roles in television
commercials. Another interesting fact about her life is
that she attended high school with actor Liev Schreiber.
He was in his senior year and she was in her first year.
Liev Schreiber was recently featured in the new remake
of the Manchurian Candidate. (2004) She was also designated
as one of the fifty most beautiful people in the world
through People Magazine.
