Early life

Carro was born in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. She was encouraged to act by her parents as a way of overcoming her shyness. [1] With the encouragement of her high school drama teacher Gerry Campbell (father of Neve Campbell), she attended theater school. [1]

Career

Carro began her career with roles in The Chris Isaak Show , Smallville , and The L Word . These led to a part in Battlestar Galactica TV series as Louanne "Kat" Katraine. Like many characters, Kat was intended as a one-off, appearing as a trainee Viper pilot, but producers liked Carro's performance and made Kat a recurring role. Katraine became a rival to Starbuck and at times the Galactica's CAG. [1]

Carro subsequently starred in Dr. Dolittle 3 and alongside Al Pacino in Two for the Money . She was also cast in the recurring roles of Stephanie Meyer in Everwood , [2] Priyah Magnus in Caprica , Crazy Lee in Falling Skies , [3] and Anana in Helix .
