Ellen Anna Muth (pronounced "Mewth";〔 born March 6, 1981) is an American actress, known for her role as George Lass in Showtime's series ''Dead Like Me''. ==Career== After a brief stint as a model with Ford Models and Rascal's Agency, Muth pursued a career in acting, studying at the Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute in New York City, and getting her first professional experience doing commercials in 1993.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=The Official Ellen Muth Website – Biography )〕 Her first major role was in the 1995 film ''Dolores Claiborne''. She followed that with a role in the eighth season premiere of ''Law & Order''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title= Episode Guide > Season 8, Episode 1 ("Thrill") > Cast List )〕 Muth's appearance as the daughter in the 1999 film ''The Young Girl and the Monsoon'' prompted the following review by Stephen Holden of ''The New York Times'': Ellen Muth, a 19-year-old actress who looks considerably younger, virtually explodes in the role of Constance, the volatile 13-year-old only child of divorced parents. An emotional powder keg who one minute can be as clinging as a baby and the next delights in cruelly demolishing the nearest grownup with laser-like sarcasm, Constance is a flailing mood swing on a circuitous warpath. The film ... crackles dangerously to life whenever Constance (who narrates the film) is on the screen with her father Hank (Terry Kinney). In 2000, her work included appearances in episodes of ''The Beat'' and ''Law & Order: Special Victims Unit'', as well as a role in The American Collection adaptation of "Cora Unashamed", a short story by Langston Hughes from his 1934 collection ''The Ways of White Folks''. Muth also had a guest role in "Don't Ask", the original unaired pilot episode of the 2000 Fox show eventually airing as ''Normal, Ohio'', but the show was revamped, resulting in the elimination of her role. This same year, Muth played the lead in the Lifetime Original Movie "The Truth About Jane", about a high school girl's struggle with her sexuality and acceptance. Muth's most widely known work was as the star of the 2003–04 Showtime television series ''Dead Like Me'', where she played Georgia "George" Lass, the protagonist and one of a team of reapers led by Rube, played by Mandy Patinkin. Muth's next roles were lower in profile. She appeared in ''Jack 'n' Jill'', a 2007 MFA thesis film. She voiced the character of Addie Vost in the first animated short of ''Tofu the Vegan Zombie'' and a character in the audio dramatization "Anne Manx in the Empress Blair Project".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Radio Repertory Company of America )〕 In September 2008 she joined three other actors at the Theatre Artist Workshop in Norwalk, Connecticut in a reading of ''Fleece the Flock'', an original musical comedy in development and directed by Joel Vig. After some delay, ''Dead Like Me: Life After Death'' a film directed by Stephen Herek, based on ''Dead Like Me'', and featuring many members of the show's cast, was released direct-to-video in March 2009.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title= DVD – Dead Like Me: Life After Death )〕 In 2012 Muth returned to the big screen in the romantic comedy ''Margarine Wars'' alongside Robert Loggia and Doris Roberts. The film debuted in Los Angeles on March 29, 2012. Muth made a guest appearance in the TV series ''Hannibal'', produced by Bryan Fuller creator of Dead Like Me.〔 Hannibal S01E10 March 30, 2013 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2373019/ 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ellen Muth」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
