Missouri native Annie Wersching first became interested in show business by studying traditional Irish dance, competing with the St. Louis Celtic Stepdancers on a national level. She went on to attend Millikin University, where she studied musical theater, and began her TV career a short time later, making a handful of minor appearances on shows like Star Trek: Enterprise. In 2007, she landed the recurring role of Amelia Joffe on the daytime soap General Hospital, but her big break came 2008, when she joined the cast of the hit series 24 as FBI agent Renee Walker.
