RACHAEL LEIGH COOK will soon be seen starring in the baseball saga “The Final Season,” opposite Sean Astin, based on the true story of a Norway, Iowa championship baseball team’s struggle against insurmountable odds. Also upcoming is the feature comedy Western “All Hat,” based on the Brad Smith novel, which centers around the world of Canadian horseracing and co-stars Keith Carradine and Luke Kirby; and the romantic comedy “Blonde Ambition,” with Jessica Simpson and Luke Wilson.

Cook’s memorable and riveting performance in a 1998 anti-heroin “kitchen smashing” public service announcement (“This is your brain...”) led to her first starring role in the breakout hit “She’s All That,” an enchanting teen comedy co-starring Freddie Prinze Jr. She next put her comedic ability to work in the title role of aspiring rock star Josie McCoy in “Josie and the Pussycats,” alongside Parker Posey and Rosario Dawson.

Cook starred with Hilary Swank and Colin Hanks in the dark comedy “11:14”; alongside Sylvester Stallone in the thriller “Get Carter”; the sci-fi comedy mystery “The Big Empty,” opposite Jon Favreau; and the romantic comedy “Blow Dry,” with Josh Hartnett. In “Living Out Loud,” with Danny DeVito, she played the younger version of Holly Hunter’s character and in “The House of Yes” she portrayed a younger version of Parker Posey’s character, Jackie-O.

Cook’s additional credits include starring roles in “The Hi-Line,” featured in competition at the Sundance Film Festival, and in the drama “Stateside,” opposite Jonathan Tucker. Earlier, she impressed a younger crowd with her role in “The Baby-Sitters Club,” and as Becky Thatcher, alongside Jonathan Taylor Thomas and Brad Renfro, in “Tom and Huck.” On the small screen, she dazzled in the role of Clara Wheeler for Steven Spielberg and TNT’s award-winning miniseries, “Into the West.”
