Carrie-Anne Moss

Carrie-Anne Moss (born August 21, 1967) is a Canadian actress best known for her role as Trinity in The Matrix trilogy.

While in Spain, she landed a role in the drama series Dark Justice, her first television appearance. She moved from Barcelona to Los Angeles, California with the series in 1992. Her big breakthrough came when she was chosen to play the latex-clad hacker Trinity in the 1999 box office success The Matrix. She reprised the role of Trinity in two sequels as well as providing voice-overs for video game and animated spin-offs of the film. (Coincidentally, she had previously co-starred in an unrelated made-in-Canada television series also entitled Matrix.)

Following the release of the The Matrix, Moss was hired for starring roles in four films. First, audiences saw her star opposite Burt Reynolds and Richard Dreyfuss in the Disney mobster comedy The Crew for producers Barry Sonnenfeld and Barry Josephson. Then they saw her star with Val Kilmer in Red Planet for Warner Bros. for producer Mark Canton. She then co-starred opposite Juliette Binoche, Alfred Molina, Johnny Depp and Dame Judi Dench in Miramax’s Oscar-nominated film Chocolat for director Lasse Hallstrom and producer David Brown. Next she starred with Guy Pearce in the independent thriller Memento for which Carrie-Anne earned an Independent Spirit Award.

Carrie-Anne Moss married fellow actor Steven Roy in 1999. They had a son, Owen, in September of 2003. Moss is very keen to protect her and her family's privacy and has not released the name of her other child to the public.

Moss's best friend is actress Maria Bello, who is the godmother of Moss's first son. Moss is the godmother of Bello's son, Jack.

Canadian-born Carrie-Anne Moss launched her acting career into overdrive with the immensely popular "Matrix" (1999). It was the first DVD to sell over 1 million copies.

Starting out as a model in Europe, Carrie-Anne went on to several TV shows and commercials. Her filmography includes "Memento" (2000) and "Red Planet" (2000).
