The Gathering
Ghost Whisperer
Born in Beford, Texas on March 4th, 1993, the multi-talented Jenna Boyd has
been "on the go" in her life since the age of 2. Her mother, Debbie, entered
Jenna into a modeling search when she was two years old. Her enthusiasm and
sweet nature captured the hearts of agents who informed her mother to send Jenna
to agencies. Soon enough, Jenna was appearing in commercials, print ads, and was
cast as one of the young kids in "The Barney Show."
A few years later, the family moved to Atlanta, Georgia because of work
commitments involving Jenna's father, Mike, who now flies for Delta Air. Jenna's
agent in Atlanta urged Debbie to temporarily move to Los Angeles, California, to
audition. It worked, and Jenna was quickly cast in the TV shows "CSI: Crime
Scene Investigation," "Just Shoot Me," "Titus" and "Six Feet Under." Jenna also
appeared in the feature TV-movie "Mary Christmas" where she played the lead
character, Felice. Jenna's first foray into film was a small part in William
("The Exorcist") Friedkin's "The Hunted," where she played daughter to Benicio
Del Toro's character; the film also starrs Tommy Lee Jones. She then appeared in
Sam Weisman's "Dickie Roberts: Former Child Star" playing star David Spade's
"adopted" daughter Sally. Jenna's biggest breakthrough came in Ron Howard's
("Night Shift", "Apollo 13") 2003 film "The Missing," where she received
critical acclaim for her haunting portrayl of Dot Gilkenson, daughter of Cate
Blanchett's character. (This was Jenna's second time working with Tommy Lee
Jones.) Besides acting, Jenna Boyd is also an
award-winning skater.
On the ice as early as 5:15 in the morning, Jenna's determination in her skating
has already led her to master the double jump move, which is very successful for
the 12-year old (her favorite skater is Tara Lipinski). Despite the hectic
schedule of juggling skating, school (she's a straight-A student) and acting,
Jenna is gifted and strong enough to handle it all.
Jenna's other hobbies include running a spy club with her friends, horseback
riding, attending church, making homemade perfumes and spending time with her
brother, Cayden, who is also an up-and-coming actor.
Jenna Boyd currently resides in Los Angeles.
