Marika Dominczyk (born July 7 1980) is a Polish-American actress.

Biography

Early life

She moved with her family from Kielce, Poland, to New York City when she was three, after her parents were expelled from their native Poland for her father's involvement with Amnesty International and then the Solidarity movement.

She is the younger sister of the actress Dagmara Dominczyk and is fluent in English and her native Polish.

Career

In 2004, Dominczyk appeared in the short-lived television series The Help, which also starred Mindy Cohn and Antonio Sabato, Jr.. The following year, she appeared as Bernadette in the 2005 movie The 40-Year-Old Virgin. From 2006-2007 she guest-starred on the ABC's Brothers & Sisters. Despite being Polish, her exotic looks have often led to her being cast in Hispanic roles, such as Anna in The Help and, most recently, as South American agent Isabelle in Get Smart's Bruce and Lloyd: Out of Control.

Personal life

Dominczyk became engaged to actor Scott Foley in 2006. During June 2007, the two wed in a private ceremony in Hawaii.[1]
