Zoë Saldana: The New York native is of Dominican descent and lived in the Dominican Republic for several years studying dance and performing, before moving back to the States. She recently starred in "Vantage Point," along with Dennis Quaid, Sigourney Weaver and Matthew Fox, and... more will be seen next year in James Cameron's "Avatar" and J.J. Abrams' "Star Trek" feature. Cue the drums!
