Born in Herzlia, Israel, on October 20, 1983, actress Alona Tal appeared on a pair of shows in her homeland before attempting to make a splash in the United States. After roles on CSI, Cold Case, and 7th Heaven, Tal was cast as Meg Manning in the cult hit Veronica Mars. She appeared in another recurring CW-series role on Supernatural, as Jo Harvelle, during the cult show's second season. In 2007, she landed a part opposite Daniella Monet in the teen comedy Taking 5, about two high-school friends who attempt to trick a popular boy band into playing a free concert in their hometown. Tal maintained her presence on the small screen by landing a regular part on the drama Cane that same year, opposite Jimmy Smits, but the show was canceled after just half a season.
