Emmanuelle Sophie Anne Chriqui (/ˈʃrki/ SHREE-kee;[1] born 10 December 1975[2]) is a Canadian actress. She is known for playing Sloan McQuewick on HBO's Entourage (2004–2011), Claire Bonner in Snow Day (2000), Dalia in You Don't Mess with the Zohan (2008), Lorelei Martins on CBS's The Mentalist (2008–2015), and Lana Lang on The CW's Superman & Lois (2021–2024).

Early life

Chriqui was born in Montreal, Quebec,[3] the daughter of Moroccan Jewish parents.[4][5][6][7] Her mother, Liliane, was born in Casablanca, and her father, Albert, in Rabat.[8][9][10] Her family practiced Orthodox Judaism.[11]

Chriqui has an older brother, Serge, and an older sister, Laurence. When she was almost two, her family moved to Toronto, Ontario. She grew up in Markham, Ontario, a suburb northeast of the city.[12] Her mother, an aesthetician who once told Emmanuelle she would become an actress, died when Chriqui was sixteen years old.[13][14]

When Chriqui was a child, her brother began paying for her to take acting classes. She attended the drama program at Unionville High School,[15] after having studied in high school in Paris and having done two years of comedy studies at the Perimony school (Paris, France), she decided to pursue a career in acting.

Career

Chriqui began acting while a 10-year-old in a McDonald's commercial. She moved to Vancouver in the mid-1990s, guest-starring in series such as Are You Afraid of the Dark?, Forever Knight, Once a Thief, and Psi Factor: Chronicles of the Paranormal. Her first Hollywood role was as a supporting character in Detroit Rock City (1999). She had a larger role in Chris Koch's teen comedy Snow Day (2000) portraying Claire Bonner, and then appeared in several other Hollywood films, such as 100 Girls, Wrong Turn, On the Line, and In the Mix. She played Eve in the 2005 comedy National Lampoon's Adam & Eve, and played Adam Sandler's love interest Dalia in the 2008 film You Don't Mess with the Zohan.

Chriqui was nominated for a Best Actress DVD Exclusive Award for her performance in 100 Girls and was nominated, with Lance Bass, for a Choice Liplock Teen Choice Award in On the Line.[16] In April 2008, she won the Standout Performance Trophy at the Young Hollywood Awards.[17]

Chriqui also starred in several music videos including Hinder's "Lips of an Angel", Zac Brown Band's "Whatever It Is", and Charles Perry's "I Could Be the Best Time of Your Life". She threw out the ceremonial first pitch at a Los Angeles Dodgers game on 8 June 2008. Chriqui was on the cover of the Autumn 2008 issue of Naked Eye.

She appeared in the 2008 film Cadillac Records as Revetta Chess, where she performed with Beyoncé Knowles. Chriqui was seen in 2009 as one of several women whose lives interconnect in the comedy Women in Trouble and appeared in its 2010 sequel Elektra Luxx.

From the second season to the end of the show's original run, Chriqui played Sloan McQuewick in the hit HBO series Entourage. She reprised the role for the 2015 film of the show. In 2010, Chriqui joined Showtime's series, The Borgias.[18] She topped AskMen's "Most Desirable Women" list in the same year.[19] She also voiced Cheetara in the ThunderCats 2011 animated series,[20] and Numbers in the Activision video game Call of Duty: Black Ops. In 2019, she played Madison in the Netflix film The Knight Before Christmas, opposite Vanessa Hudgens.

In April 2020, Chriqui was cast as Lana Lang in the CW action-superhero series Superman & Lois, and also portrayed her Bizarro counterpart Lana-Rho in the second season.[21]
