A screen performer who, by her own account, was once typed as "the good girl" in a long string of telemovie soapers, Alexis Dziena then dramatically expanded her range with work in an extremely varied series of productions. These included Amy Sedaris' movie version of her satirical #92;sitcom Strangers with Candy (in which the Manhattan native aggressively cut against her "good girl" typecasting by playing a bad seed), Jim Jarmusch's Broken Flowers (as a nymphet who fully disrobes to gain the attention of Bill Murray), and a blueblood with Mafia dreams in Barbara Kopple's Havoc (all in 2005). Dziena had a regular role as Kira Underlay on the short-lived ABC alien-invasion #92;drama Invasion from 2005-2006, but the series did not last beyond its first season. She subsequently played a supporting part in the #92;romantic comedy #92;adventure Fool's Gold (2008), as Gemma Honeycutt, the debutante daughter of a billionaire (Donald Sutherland). ~ Nathan Southern, All Movie Guide
