Remember MySpace? 10 Questions With… Jodi-Lyn O’Keefe
Meet Jodi-Lyn O’Keefe, a New Jersey native who began her career as a model at the age of eight. Signed by the Ford Modeling Agency at 13, she then joined the cast of the soap opera Another World.
Jodi-Lyn grew up on television. She was Cassidy Bridges on the long-running CBS hit Nash Bridges, and then starred as a series regular on FOX’s acclaimed Prison Break (loved that series). She’s had both guest and recurring roles on Castle, Lost, Two and a Half Men, The Big Bang Theory, Boston Legal, Criminal Minds and CSI: NY just to name a few. You may also recognize her from her starring role in the feature film She’s All That, which won her the title of Young Hollywood’s “Best Bad Girl” – she definitely earned the title in that movie.
Besides her solid acting career, Jodi-Lyn is also a talented designer, having created her own line of expressive tees and hoodies (Queen George), and a new and exclusive high-end line of gold/platinum, black and white diamond jewelry called Q Jewelry Design.
This April, you can catch her on Lifetime alongside Mena Survari and Drea de Matteo in the original film Stalkers. And in the summer, you’ll see her in the feature film Frozen Ground, about a 1980s serial killer, written and directed by 50 Cent, which co-stars Nicolas Cage, John Cusack and Vanessa Hudgens and is based on a true story.
Okay, I’m exhausted after that bio. That’s a lot of stuff. Make sure you check her out on Twitter, but for now:
