ERIKA SMITH
Born and raised in the suburbs of Boston, Massachusetts, Erika moved to New York at the age of
18 to pursue her dream of becoming an actress. She trained at the prestigious Neighborhood
Playhouse, where her most influential teacher, Ron Stetson, imbued in her a sense of humor and a
realistic perspective of the industry. Fresh out of acting school, Erika nabbed the starring role of
Nora in the Creative Artists production of Ibsen's "A Doll's House." After appearing in several more
off-off-Broadway theatrical productions, and armed with her sense of humor, Erika embarked on a
new phase of her career: B-movie scream queen. She first garnered notice from the independent film
community for her role in the 2003 cult comedy "Hotties" and its follow-up "Hotties 2: the Hot, the
Bad and the Ugly." "Bite Me!" followed, in which Erika's performance as Trix, a clumsy burlesque
dancer, earned her rave reviews and a reputation as a stellar young physical comedienne. She
continued working in independent films, finding work and a growing fan base, especially in the
horror film genre. With "Sinful" Erika showed film audiences her dramatic side, as an expectant
mother terrorized by her violently jealous neighbor in a story ripped straight from the headlines.
2007 brings Erika back to her comedic roots and a chance to break through to mainstream
audiences with her role in the long-awaited sequel to Tom Hanks' career launching "Bachelor Party":
20th Century Fox's "Bachelor Party 2," starring Sara Foster. 2007 also marks Erika's debut as a
screenwriter. Her first feature length screenplay, "Privates," is now making the rounds of the top
Hollywood studios.
