Before Ali Larter became Hero Niki Sanders, who was she?

The Blond Beauty started modeling at age 13. Then, she moved to Los Angeles to study acting. Her first acting gig was a short one on “Chicago Sons.”

Her acting career grew quickly, while she made appearances on shows like “Dawson’s Creek,” and then landed landed a role in two movie roles in 1999, one as “Amber” in “Giving it Up,” and another as the brunette, “Dulcie” in “Drive Me Crazy.” To be honest, I didn’t realize it was her until I saw the cast list at the end of the movie. Phenomenal actress.

Of course, she also played “Brooke Taylor Windham” in “Legally Blond,” with Reese Witherspoon. She’s the rich celebrity (hmm) accused of murdering her husband for his money.

I think her best role, though is on Heroes, where she plays an incredibly strong former stripper with a son and a second personality – Jessica, so named after her dead sister. Personality issues go a long way towards making an interesting character.
