Emmanuelle Sophie Anne Chriqui (born December 10, 1977) is a Canadian actress who has appeared on both television and in cinema. Her roles on HBO's Entourage as Sloan McQuewick, You Don't Mess with the Zohan as Dahlia Hakbarah, Unscripted as herself, along with two appearances on The O.C. as Jodie, have increased her visibility and exposure in the entertainment world. In May 2010, she topped the AskMen.com Most Desirable Women of 2010 list.
A professional performer since the age of 10, exotic beauty Emmanuelle Chriqui began hitting her stride with high-profile appearances in TV series like "Entourage" (HBO, 2004- ) and "The O.C." (Fox, 2003- ), as well as considerable exposure in men's magazines like Stuff, which named her one of its "Top 200 Sexiest Women in the World" in 2002. Not bad for a relative Hollywood newcomer.
Born on Dec. 10, 1977 to Jewish parents of Moroccan descent, Chriqui (pronounced "Shreeky") moved with her family from Montreal to Toronto at an early age, spending her childhood in the suburb of Unionville. The acting bug bit after she was cast in a local theater production at age seven, and by 10, she logged her first job in a Canadian commercial for McDonald's. Guest roles in several Canadian-produced and lensed television productions soon followed, including "Forever Knight" (USA, 1992-96) and "Are You Afraid of the Dark?" (Nickelodeon, 1992-96).
By the mid 1990s, she had relocated to Vancouver to take advantage of the wealth of film productions there. Her first major Hollywood film role came in 1999 with a supporting turn in the goofball comedy "Detroit Rock City," which was quickly followed by the popular Nickelodeon big-screen kids’ flick "Snow Day" (2000). Chriqui next shot scenes for three major film and television productions – Steven Spielberg’s "A.I." (2001), Todd Solondz's "Storytelling" (2001), and the series "Manchester Prep" (1999). In all three cases, Chriqui's scenes were left on the cutting room floor, though her footage was used in the trailer for "Cruel Intentions 2," which became the final repository for the "Manchester Prep" project.
