Sasha Barrese

Born in Maui, HI, Barrese was raised alone by her mother, Katherine, who was just 16 when gave birth. A model and aspiring actress, Katherine moved to Paris with her infant daughter, who she brought along on modeling and photo shoots. After moving back the U.S., they made their film debut together in the road trip comedy "Homer & Eddie," and Sasha next portrayed Katherine's younger self in "Jezebel's Kiss," co-starring Malcolm McDowell. She spent the next decade concentrating on school (aside from the occasional modeling job through NEXT and Elite agencies), and eventually graduated from Massachusetts' Tabor Academy. Barrese, who is fluent in French, made her film debut in "American Pie" just months later, and quickly broke into TV with a guest role on the primetime teen sitcom "Boy Meets World." Those two roles proved to be just the beginning for the art-loving Barrese. She worked steadily through the early 2000s in everything from the hit film "Legally Blonde" (2001) to the workplace sitcom "Just Shoot Me!" (NBC, 1997-2003) before being cast in "Run of the House" as one of four siblings left to fend for themselves when their parents relocate to Arizona. A brief stint on the airport drama "LAX" (NBC, 2004-05) was followed by a string of TV guest roles, and in 2009 Barrese landed a major break when she was cast as Tracy, Justin Bartha's worried fiancée, in the surprise hit "The Hangover." In addition to appearing in the well-received remake of the Swedish vampire film "Let Me In" and studying at the Actors Circle Theater in West Hollywood, Barrese has also reprised her role as Tracy in the increasingly desperate "Hangover" sequels.
