When Victoria Pratt was born on December 18, 1970 in Chesley, Ontario, the residents of the tiny Canadian town had no way of knowing that they had a future Amazon Queen with a blue belt and swift legs in their midst.
Something of a tomboy in her youth, Victoria nurtured her athletic side and became an accomplished runner by the time she entered Toronto's York University one year ahead of the rest of her class. While there she ran on, competing in the Commonwealth Games while consistently making the Dean's list. She graduated summa cum laude with a degree in kinesiology.
She turned down a scholarship for a master's program in physiotherapy to begin working in the university's athletic performance testing facility and co-author a book on fitness. The latter project led her to ask her former professor Robert Kennedy, the publisher of such fitness magazines as Oxygen and MuscleMag, for some pictures of athletes for the book. Instead, the camera was turned on Victoria when Kennedy convinced her to give fitness modeling a try, and then encouraged her to take acting lessons.
If you're some kind of freak who's not turned on by a butt-kicking sci-fi queen on TV, then just check out some of Victoria Pratt's many spreads in men's magazines. You will have no reservations about calling her the hottest babe around.
Her fit body is muscular enough to raise eyebrows, without reminding us of the similarly bulging muscles of greased up dudes in Speedos. Despite the muscles, Victoria is all woman.
Before starting her acting career, Victoria Pratt made a notable mark in the fitness world as an athlete performance tester (she worked with the Toronto Maple Leafs and San Jose Sharks, among others) and author. In 1998, she got her first television role on the Discovery Channel series Go For It, about non-traditional sports, and then her first acting role in John Woo's Once a Thief. She made her film debut that same year, in Legacy, co-starring David Hasselhoff.
Before she knew it, she was appearing in such sci-fi series as Xena: Warrior Princess, Cleopatra 2525, First Wave, and she's now starring in Mutant X. In addition to her acting roles, she has also posed for many fitness magazines like Oxygen and Health & Fitness, both on the cover and inside the glossy pages.
