Ashley McCall Scott is an American actress. She is known for her work on television and in film, including her roles in the television series Dark Angel, Birds of Prey, and Jericho.
Ashley Scott began her career as a young girl when she began modeling. While living in Charleston, S.C. she entered a Millie Lewis Convention. Though she forgot her TV commercial, she was so good on recovery, that she won her division. After Millie Lewis and her sophomore year of high school, the 15 year old went to New York to pursue her modeling career. She traveled, trying different markets and eventually became a Model for Elite Miami. She settled in Miami, was an active catalogue model, and a Giorgio Red Spokesmodel. As a young woman, she modeled internationally, and graced the runways at fashion shows in Miami, Paris and London.
She has appeared on the cover of the prestigious Hollywood Reporter and has been tracked by photographers from such publications as WWD, US Weekly and Cosmo Girl.
Ashley decided to give acting a go and one of her first auditions was with Al Pacino.
She didn't win the role, but her audition tape for the Al Pacino film landed in the offices of DreamWorks. She was then cast in another film that led to her first significant big screen credit, a few eye catching seconds as Gigolo Jane in the feature film AI: Artificial Intelligence where she shared screen time with Jude Law's Gigolo Joe.
In 2001 she also broke into TV when she was cast as Asha Barlow in the second season of FOX's hit sci-fi show Dark Angel. It was her first real acting role. Her character was an ally to cyber journalist Logan Cale (Michael Weatherly) and part of a group formed to expose government corruption. The Dark Angel people liked her enough to try to revise the formerly bookish character to fit Ashley's personality and they also quickly upgraded her from a guest star to a cast member.
In February 2002, while still featured in her reoccurring role on Dark Angel, the announcement came that she was cast as Helena Kyle a.k.a the Huntress (a superhero) in the pilot for the possible upcoming WB series about post-Batman Gotham and a trio of female crime fighters known as the Birds of Prey (a series loosely based on the DC comic of the same name). Ashley did do most of her own stunt work for the pilot episode of Birds of Prey.
She gained a few fans as Huntress in the WB's Birds of Prey in the Fall of 2002, but that show unfortunately had a short run and ended mid-season. Ashley followed her work on Birds of Prey with feature films and has been in such films as S.W.A.T., Trespassing, Walking Tall, and Into the Blue.
She was originally cast in the pilot of the NBC Matt LeBlanc sitcom Joey in 2004, but she was replaced by Andrea Anders. She had a minor role in the movie Just Friends (2005), as a nurse. From 2006 to 2008 she played Emily Sullivan in the CBS drama Jericho, during its entire two season run.
Her latest project is the movie 12 Rounds, which is scheduled to be released on March 13, 2009.
