Biography:"Katherine Heigl" was an experienced movie actress by the time she was cast as one of the out-of-this-world teenagers on WB's "Roswell" in 1999. Born and raised in Connecticut, Heigl began modeling and appearing in TV ads as a child. After making her film debut in "That Night" (1992), Heigl balanced movie work with high school, playing a small role in "Steven Soderbergh"'s Depression-era drama "King of the Hill" (1993), starring as Gérard Depardieu's difficult daughter in My Father the Hero (1994), and "Steven Seagal"'s niece in the action sequel "Under Siege 2: Dark Territory" (1995). Heigl headed to Los Angeles after high school to make acting her full-time job. Following a leading role in "Wish Upon a Star" (1996) and a small part as a "Rita Hayworth" stand-in in "Stand-Ins" (1997), Heigl made a foray into horror with "Bug Buster" (1998) and "Bride of Chucky" (1998).
