Carla Gugino is an actress known for her role as Ingrid Cortez in the Spy Kids movies and the title role in the TV series Karen Sisco.

At the age of 15 she was spotted by a modeling agency in San Diego and moved to New York. This was unusual as at only 5 feet 4 inches (1.65 meters) tall, she was considered too short for runway work. Finding the experience too much, Gugino moved back to California that summer. She subsequently studied acting.

Carla Gugino has starred in many films including Snake Eyes (1998), Judas Kiss, the three Spy Kids films, Son in Law, "The One" with Jet Li, and most recently in Sin City. She will next be seen opposite Ben Stiller in the upcoming holiday film "Night at the Museum".

She also played Ashley Schaeffer in the television series Spin City. She recently starred in the short lived CBS science fiction series, Threshold.

Carla Gugino has also appeared in a wide range of TV programs including ALF, Doogie Howser, M.D., Saved by the Bell, Who's the Boss? and The Wonder Years.
