Paige Hurd

Actress Paige Hurd was a familiar face to both teen and primetime audiences throughout the late 1990s and 2000s, thanks to regular appearances in films like "The Cat in the Hat" (2003) and on television series like "Everybody Hates Chris" (UPN/The CW, 2005-09) and "Hawaii Five-O" (CBS, 2010-). Born Paige Audrey Marie Hurd in Dallas, Texas, she studied at the Dallas Young Actors Studio before making her screen debut at the age of eight in a 2000 episode of "Felicity" (The WB, 1998-2002). More television work preceded her first feature film appearance as rapper DMX's daughter in "Cradle 2 the Grave" (2003), a martial arts thriller starring Jet Li. Hurd soon divided her time between supporting roles in studio features like "The Cat in the Hat" (2003) and "Beauty Shop" (2005) and appearances in independent efforts like "Virginia" (2005), a modern-day adaptation of "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" (2005) with Hurd as a female Huck, with guest shots on series like "The Suite Life of Zack & Cody" (Disney Channel, 2005-08) and "ER" (NBC, 1994-2009). During this period she also enjoyed a three-year stint on "Everybody Hates Chris" in the recurring role of Tasha, the reluctant love interest to Tyler James Williams' hapless Chris. Appearances in several music videos, including Justin Bieber's "Never Let You Go" (2010), and short films dominated much of her screen time after "Chris" ran its course. In 2013, Hurd began an extended run on "Hawaii Five-0" as the daughter of Chi McBride's gruff SWAT captain Lou Grover. Their storyline dominated the final episode of the series' fourth season, in which Hurd's kidnapping by a computer hacker (Nick Jonas) forced her father to take extreme measures in order to rescue her.
