Jennifer Esposito has just about everything she needs to become a major star: looks, talent and personality. Her vast number of projects -- in the last five years alone -- is quite impressive. She has worked with A-list directors (Spike Lee) and actors (Michael Douglas), and proven that she has what it takes to transport her career to the next level. What's even more impressive is that she has managed, in a very short time, to display her range as an actress. Esposito has gone from soap operas like The City, to feature films such as Summer of Sam and The Bachelor, and tackled both comedic and serious roles. Such versatility will serve her well as she searches for that one project to put her over the top.

"Well, I'm Italian, but my family isn't stereotypical. I mean, I only have one sister and we don't yell or throw pasta at each other. My mother doesn't even have a secret spaghetti sauce recipe." -Jennifer Esposito, on her heritage.
