Actress Reiko Aylesworth honed and sharpened her dramatic gifts on-stage, with work in such off-Broadway productions as John Patrick Shanley's Kissing Christine/Missing Marisa and Marshall Mason's Robbers. After making her screen debut on the daytime #92;soap One Life to Live, Aylesworth checked in as something of a television stalwart during the mid- to late '90s, with guest appearances on such programs as Law & Order, The Dead Zone, and CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, and occasional bit parts in films including You've Got Mail (1998) and Random Hearts (1999). Devotees of the #92;action thriller series 24 will invariably recall Aylesworth on that program, in her role as CTU agent Michelle Dessler -- love interest, then wife and ex-wife, of Tony Almeida -- a role she maintained for several seasons. In the late 2000s, Aylesworth appeared on the popular #92;medical drama ER as a hospital chaplain, tackled a supporting role as an attorney in Bruce A. Evans' #92;psychological thriller Mr. Brooks, and signed for one of her premier big-screen leads as the heroine in Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem (2007). ~ Nathan Southern, All Movie Guide
