Emmanuelle Chriqui was born Emmanuelle Anna Sophia Chriqui on December 10, 1977 in Montreal, Canada of a Moroccan background. She is the youngest with an older brother and older sister. When she was 6 years old, her family moved Toronto where she grew up. Her family could not afford acting lessons so her older brother, Serge-who was 18 at the time, paid for the classes himself out of pocket. 10 year old Emmanuelle started her acting career in a McDonald's commercial with a dancing cheeseburger on her sweatshirt. As she got older, she supported herself with a flexible schedule as a waitress-she landed guest-starring roles in the mid-90's Canadian series such as Are You Afraid of the Dark?, Kung Fu, Forever Knight, Psi Factor, and Once a Thief. These t.v. shows led to more exposure to help her acting career, which later lead to roles in Unwed Father (1997), Principal Takes a Holiday (1998), and Futuresport (1998) with Wesley Snipes and Vanessa Williams. With these projects under her belt, Hollywood offered her a supporting role in Detroit Rock City (1999), a story about four teenage boys who attend a KISS concert. Even though she didn't have much screen time, this lead to a stepping stone in her career where she starred in Snow Day (2000), which put her on the map. She played Claire Bonner, the most popular girl in school in this Nickelodeon production, but even though her name wasn't on the marquee, it left an impression big enough that she starred in the Hoku music video "Another Dumb Blonde" (Snow Day Soundtrack).

Emmanuelle's next projects were the horror thriller Rocky 6 (2000), and the little-seen teen sex comedy 100 Girls (2000). In the latter she played Patty, a promiscuous artsy girl who turns out to be the most three-dimensional character in the film, having a more significant part than anticipiated. This role even earned her a Video Premiere Award nomination for Best Actress. Just when things started picking up for her, she got a chance of a lifetime and was selected to appear in Stephen Spielburg's science-fiction epic, Artificial Intelligence: AI. Chriqui was on the set for three days in the summer of 2000, but unfortunately her scene was cut. The same fate awaited her that summer when she participated in the shooting of Todd Solondz's Storytelling, with Selma Blair. Still making her way up the Hollywood hierarchy, she won the female lead in 2001's On the Line, also known as the 'NSYNC movie because it stared Lance Bass and Joey Fatone. She wasn't very knowledgeable about the band but got to hang out with them a month before shooting to build chemistry with the boys. In the process, she made a lot of teenage girls jealous. Her next role came two years later in 2003 when she starred along Eliza Dushku as Carly, a girl who is stalked by cannibals in Wrong Turn (2003). In 2004 she shot the fourth installment of the popular The Crow series titled The Crow: Wicked Prayer, which also stars Edward Furlong, Tara Reid, and Dennis Hopper, but unfortunately the movie went straight to DVD. The then got the lead role in National Lampoon's Adam & Eve, in which she plays Eve, a girl who wants to remain a virgin, and joined the movie Waltzing Anna just previously released. One of her biggest achievements was getting the role of Dolly Parcelli in Usher's movie debut In the Mix, and her role as Sloan in the popular HBO show Entourage which gained her a lot of new fans. Emmanuelle finished shooting the independent movies After Sex (2006) and The American Standard (2006) and also finished August (2008), You Don't Mess with the Zohan (2008), Tortured (2008), Patriotville (2008), Cadillac Records (2008). She'll also star in Saint John of Las Vegas (2009).
