Spunky child star ALEXA VEGA shot to fame in 2001 as one of the young secret agents in the 007 spoof Spy Kids. Born on August 27, 1988 in Miami, Vega spent her early years living on a nearby Florida farm. Vega says that she was inspired to want to act early on because "my mom was a model and we also had some friends who were going to move out to California, and it just kind of picked up from there." Vega was four when her family relocated to California. Once there, her mother got a job with a talent agency. Inspired by Vega's precocity, her mother brought her to an audition for Burt Reynolds' TV series Evening Shade - she landed the two-year stint on her first try.
Vega worked continuously ever since, landing guest starring roles on ER and Chicago Hope, and appearing in Little Giants (1994) and Nine Months (1995). After portraying a young Helen Hunt in Twister (1996), she played Steven Segal's daughter in The Glimmer Man (1996), Alec Baldwin's daughter in Ghosts of Mississippi (1996), and Michelle Pfeiffer's daughter in The Deep End of the Ocean (1999). Vega returned to series television as Alfred Molina's daughter in CBS' short lived sitcom Ladies Man, before taking centre stage in Spy Kids. Written and directed by Robert Rodriguez, the film followed two preadolescents who must save their secret agent parents from the grips of a madman bent on destroying the world. It took seven auditions before getting the female lead in the first Spy Kids. "That was because I was considered too old for the part. They didn't want some girl who was going to go through puberty after the second Spy Kids and then deal with her growing up." But she so impressed Rodriguez that Vega won the day and the role. Along with co-star Daryl Sabara, Vega also insisted on doing the majority of her own stunts, instantly becoming a hero to kids everywhere. The movie, which also featured Antonio Banderas, Carla Gugino, Alan Cumming, and Tony Shaloub, was a box office smash. Vega is now back for the film's highly-anticipated sequel, Spy Kids 2: The Island of Lost Dreams which has the kids traveling to a lost island in an effort to thwart the evil plans of a mad scientist. Shooting the sequel, Vega says, was like a family reunion, "because we got to see all the crew as well as the added cast. It's like a big family". The family included its patriarch, director Rodriguez. "Robert treated me as his daughter," says Vega who has nothing but praise for her multi-tasking director. "What makes the movie so great is Robert's imagination; the man's a genius." A year after that, she returned for the last installment of the Spy Kids trilogy, Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over (2003), which grossed over $34 million on its opening weekend. She sang songs in both Spy Kids 2 ("Isle of Dreams") and Spy Kids 3 ("Game Over" and "Heart Drive" with actor Bobby Edner) that Robert Rodriguez wrote especially for her. Vega was featured in the July 2003 issue of Vanity Fair as one of the hottest teen celebrities.
Soon after that, Sleepover (2004) was released and Alexa got a Jeep Range Rover from Spy Kids director Robert Rodriguez for her 16th birthday. Vega, who has been said by MGM to possess "a special charm that emanates onscreen," continued to act in movies such as State's Evidence (originally a film festival success and now set to be released in 2006), Odd Girl Out (2005) and Walkout (2006). She graduated high school in 2005 and has since filmed Walkout (2006), Marrying God (2006) and The Beautiful Ordinary (set to be released in 2007).
In 2007 Vega, moved to New York for six months and starred as Penny Pingleton in the Broadway musical "Hairspray," before going to Canada to film Repo! The Genetic Opera, which is scheduled to be released on November 7, 2008. Vega is currently 20 years old.
