Maria
Bello, best known for her Screen Actors Guild Award winning, leading role on "ER"
as the passionate and headstrong pediatrician Dr. Anna Del Amico, has quickly
emerged as one of Hollywood's up and coming film stars. The spy-adventure series
required Bello to do some of her own stunts and learn Moi Thai, a Taiwanese form
of street fighting.
Bello
co-starred in PERMANENT MIDNIGHT with Ben Stiller and Elizabeth Hurley, and she
also co-starred with Mel Gibson in Paramount's PAYBACK. Shot simultaneously during
production of "ER," Bello played the female lead to Gibson's past and
present encounters. In
2000 Bello appeared in the film DUETS with Gwyneth Paltrow, Huey Lewis and Scott
Speedman. She also starred in Jerry Bruckheimer's COYOTE UGLY, portraying Lil,
a tough talking entrepreneur who owns a Western style bar in New York City.
Bello's
extensive theatre credits include the world premiere of The Killer Inside Me,
as well as Smart Town Gals at the Currican Theatre, Big Problems at the Theatre
for New City, Urban Planning at the Theatre del Barrio, A Lie of the Mind at Columbia
University, His Pillow and Out of Gas on Lover's Leap at T. Schreiber Studios,
Big Talk at the Double Image Theatre, and Talked Away at the West End Gate.
Maria
has toured Africa and Asia while continuing her studies in conjunction with her
arts and education program for children.
