Carrie-Anne Moss was born in Vancouver, British Columbia, on August 21, 1967. She decided that she wanted to be an actress at an early age.

After making her film debut in 1996's Sabotage, Moss continued to do TV work and appeared in fairly obscure films. Thanks to her starring role in The Matrix in 1999, Moss was soon in great demand. In 2000 alone, she could be seen in no less than four films, including the action comedy The Crew, Red Planet, and as a bartender with questionable motives in director Christopher Nolan's unconventional breakthrough, Memento.

Subsequently taking another stab at sci-fi opposite Val Kilmer in Red Planet, Moss would next appear in Lasse Hallstrom's romantic drama Chocolat before stepping back into her vinyl bodysuit for The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions (both 2003).

Moss took time off to start a family; her first son with her husband, actor Steven Moss, was born in September of 2003. She returned to the big screen in 2004's Suspect Zero (with Ben Kingsley).

Her other movies include Snow Cake (2006) and Disturbia (2007).
