A performer from the age of three, when she began taking dance lessons, Sharni Vinson began making an impact in her native Australia when she helped found the pop group Girlband. Around 2001, she began honing her acting chops with a recurring role on the drama Home and Away, and soon proved so popular with audiences that she became a starring member of the cast. She stuck with the show until 2008, after which time she crossed over to the U.S., where she joined the cast of the third movie in the Step Up dance movie franchise, Step Up 3D.
