Profile of Sienna Guillory on Famous Like Me

Sienna Guillory (born May 31, 1975 in Fulham, London, England) is a British actress. She is the daughter of Cuban born guitarist Isaac Guillory and Victoria Guillory. She is married to British actor, Enzo Cilenti. She was previously married to British actor, Nick Moran, before they divorced in 2000.

Sienna got her first acting job when she was 16 years old, a bit part in the British TV adaptation Riders.

In 1995, Sienna walked into a modeling agency when at age 20 and was signed to a contract on the spot. As a model for Select Models, Guillory worked on such respected campaigns as Armani, Dolce & Gabanna, Burberry, and Paul Smith. She was also the face of Hugo Boss' fragrance campaign for three years. However, Guillory always saw herself as an actress, so she took up studies at the New World School of the Dramatic Arts, as well as at the Paris Conservatoire to perfect her acting abilites.

In 2000, Guillory garnered critical acclaim for her role in the BBC series Take a Girl Like You playing the coveted role of Jenny Bunn.

She also landed the coveted lead role in the TV mini-series Helen of Troy in 2002. "I can't think of a bigger compliment than to be cast as the woman whose beauty has become legendary.", says Guillory. The role of Helen required some partial nudity. Guillory didn't mind too much but she is quoted in Playboy magazine as saying that she "...didn't like my nipples showing because they look like targets."

She is apprehensive about a career in Hollywood. She knows how fickle producers and directors can be in Tinseltown, an experience Guillory learned when visiting Tinseltown... "That experience of Hollywood taught me a lot", says Sienna "but I still feel like I'm a Hollywood virgin."

PBS said of her, "Sienna Guillory is fast establishing herself as one of Britain's hottest actresses, with a growing portfolio of film roles, magazine covers, and newspaper stories to her credit."

Guillory's best-known role is Jill Valentine in Resident Evil: Apocalypse. In late 2004, Guillory made headlines for publicly condemning fellow British actress Kate Beckinsale for "going Hollywood."

She is also cast in the movie Eragon as Arya, planned to be released in theatres in the summer of 2006.
