Rhona Mitra deleted scene from Hollow Man


A teenager back in London, Enough lacked direction and became involved with the wrong crowd. Mitra was enveloped in the club scene and developed a drug habit that tied into the all-night and day raves she attended. Four years passed before she finally realized that her yearning to act and be in the public eye could not be ignored. Turning her life around, she attended drama school for one year.

With newly acquired acting skills, she hit the British casting calls with much fervor, landing a one-time appearance in the series, Ghostbusters of East Finchley, in 1995. Mitra's career continued to progress when she filmed her first movie, Monk Dawson, the following year, although it was only released in 1998. It was her appearance as a mischievous schoolgirl in the three-part miniseries The Man Who Made Husbands Jealous that really established her as a budding young talent.

After the encouragement of friends and family, who always claimed she had a likeness to a certain butt-kicking video game character, Mitra auditioned and received the part of Lara Croft, from the Tomb Raider action series. As Croft, she attended trade shows and participated in media events, always in character. In fact, she had breast enlargement surgery to further her image as a true Croft look-alike.

Further showing off her skills, Mitra cut tracks for the video game's soundtrack along with Dave Stewart, formerly of the Eurythmics. The whirlwind of shows, rabid fans and crazy e-mail requests lasted nine months, enough to establish a solid background for Mitra in the United States.

Mitra's first major leading role post-Croft came in 1999's Beowulf, alongside Christopher Lambert. She was featured prominently in the trailor for the film Hollow Man, but actually had a bit part in the movie, making it clear that she served as eye candy to reel in audiences.

Mitra had a more prominent role in several episodes of FOX's Party of Five as Holly, a British medical student romantically involved with "Bailey" (played by Scott Wolf. Throw in some spreads for some men's magazines, and Mitra became one highly publicized fox.

In 2000, Mitra landed a permanent role on the ABC medical drama Gideon's Crossing, but unfortunately, the show tanked after one season. The bigger highlight that year came with the release of Get Carter, in which she shared a steamy love scene with Sylvester Stallone Returning to England, Mitra appeared in Ali G Indahouse starring (of course) Ali G, the popular gangsta comedian. Her most recent role, in 2002's moneymaking romantic comedy, Sweet Home Alabama, is evidence that she is slowly but surely breaking into Hollywood circles.

Despite these recent numerous accomplishments, Mitra still needs a breakout role to further cast aside the modeling misconceptions that hang over her at times. With two highly anticipated films coming out in 2003 -- The Life of David Gale, starring Kevin Spacey and Highwaymen, starring James Caviezel-- we hope this will be the year when her hard work really pays off. Completely focused on success -- and single, we might add -- Enough will surely be in the spotlight more and more, and not just because she's a knockout.
