Eliza Patricia Dushku is an American actress with recurring appearances on Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel as Faith, a Slayer much more troubled than the main character Buffy. Though initially planned as a five episode role, the character became so popular that she stayed on for the entirety of the third season and returned for a two-part appearance in season four, after which the remainder of her original story arc was played out as part of the first season of the "Buffy" spinoff series "Angel." Repentant and rededicated, Faith returned as a heroine in a number of further episodes of "Angel" and in the last five episodes of "Buffy."
Eliza Dushku holds the distinction of being the only actress, other than Sarah Michelle Gellar, to portray Buffy Summers on the series when her character switched bodies with Buffy in the episode Who Are You.
Eliza Dushku hails from Watertown, Massachusetts. She has appeared in such films as Bring it On (which also starred another Buffy actress, Clare Kramer), Wrong Turn, True Lies, The New Guy, Soul Survivors, and Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. She also starred as Tru Davies in the short-lived TV series Tru Calling.
She currently stars in her own TV series Dollhouse which is created by Joss Whedon and guest stars Amy Acker.
