Tawny Cypress

Exotic, multi-racial beauty, Tawny Cypress, began her acting career in the late 1990's. First cutting her teeth in the daytime soap arena, Cypress initially made a name for herself as the charismatic Professor Shambala Stevens on the long-running daytime hit, "All My Children" (ABC, 1970- ), before segueing into primetime roles. A veteran of television's guest-star circuit into the new millennium, Cypress finally hit the big time a few years later with a regular role on the hugely popular hit series, "Heroes" (NBC, 2006-10).
