Toni Collette is an accomplished Academy Award and Tony Award nominated actress, born and raised in Australia, who genuinely appreciates her success and the variety of amazing roles she’s landed since she began acting in the early 1990s. She continues to make an indelible impression on Hollywood and has made it clear she doesn’t like repeating herself. She gained instant recognition for her portrayal of the hopeless but inspirational Muriel Heslop in P.J. Hogan’s 1994 dark comedy, "Muriel’s Wedding," for which she won an Australian Academy Award, her first of four. She has gone on to become one of the most respected actresses of her generation, starring in a wide variety of roles that reveal her amazing ability to transform into the characters she plays.

Collette was most recently seen in the critically acclaimed 20th Century Fox film "In Her Shoes" with Cameron Diaz and Shirley MacLaine, directed by Curtis Hanson and based on the best-selling novel by Jennifer Weiner. She just completed the independent film "Dead Girl" with Giovanni Ribisi and the thriller "Like Minds" directed by Gregory J. Read, and she is currently shooting "Tsunami" for HBO Films in Thailand. In 2004 Collette starred in the comedies "Connie & Carla" opposite Nia Vardalos and "The Last Shot" with Matthew Broderick and Alec Baldwin. In 2003 she received some of the best reviews of her career for "Japanese Story," for which she garnered extraordinary critical acclaim and her fourth Australian Academy Award. Her other recent films include "About A Boy," the hit box office adaptation of Nick Hornby’s novel, the critically acclaimed "The Hours," opposite Nicole Kidman, Meryl Streep and Julianne Moore, and the remake of "Shaft" opposite Samuel L. Jackson. Collette also earned an Academy Award nomination for her mesmerizing performance as the fiercely protective mother of a boy with paranormal powers in M. Night Shyamalan’s thriller "The Sixth Sense."

Collette’s latest roles continue to reflect her penchant for exploring as diverse a range of characters as possible. Most recently, she played the besieged housewife Sheryl in the offbeat family road comedy and Sundance Film Festival hit "Little Miss Sunshine" with Greg Kinnear, Steve Carell, Alan Arkin and Paul Dano, and the enigmatic Donna Logand in the suspense-filled mystery "The Night Listener" also starring Robin Williams, Sandra Oh, Bobby Cannavale, and Rory Culkin. The two roles could not be farther apart.

Filmography: Dirty Deeds (2002), Evening (2007), In Her Shoes, Like Minds, Little Miss Sunshine, The Dead Girl (2006), The Night Listener, The Sixth Sense, Velvet Goldmine,
