Missy Peregrym stars as Special Agent Maggie Bell on FBI, which is in its seventh season.
Peregrym has captivated audiences since her feature film debut as a rebellious gymnast in the film “Stick It,” and has continued to develop her craft as a successful actor in both film and television ever since. As one of the stars of “Rookie Blue,” she reminded audiences that she is both tough and vulnerable, starring as a rookie cop for six seasons in the series.
Peregrym began her career as a model when she was 18 years old. She landed her first television role as a guest star on the action-drama series “Dark Angel.” Her additional television credits include starring roles on the series “Reaper” on The CW and “Life as We Know It”; recurring roles on “Heroes,” “Ten Days in the Valley” and “Van Helsing”; and guest-starring roles on HAWAII FIVE-0, on the Network, and “The Night Shift”; among many others.
Her feature film credits include “Back Country,” which made its debut at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2015. In 2012 Peregrym appeared in Yahoo’s first digitally released movie, “Cybergeddon.” In late 2024, Peregrym will be seen in the new survival thriller “Out Come the Wolves,” which will be distributed by IFC Films and Shudder in the U.S., while levelFILM will release the movie in Canada.
Peregrym was recently honored at the 2023 WIFT Toronto Crystal Awards with the International Achievement Award. She was honored in 2010 at the Toronto International Film Festival as one of Playback’s “Top 10 to Watch,” and is the winner of the 2016 Golden Maple Awards’ Maple of Excellence for Outstanding Acting Achievement Award for her work in film and television. Additionally, she won the Best Female Performance in a Drama award at the 2013 Streamy Awards for her role in “Cybergeddon.”
