Jaimie Alexander will surprise you.
She currently stars as Jane Doe on the fall's No. 1 series, "Blindspot." When we first meet her, Jane Doe is covered in tattoos and has no memory of how she ended up that way. But as time goes by, the tattoos begin to tell a story and Jane begins to remember a high level of combat and investigation skills.
You may not recognize her, but what if we told you she starred on ABC Family cult hit "Kyle XY"? Or that she plays a major role in the "Thor" film franchise?
How has the actress become such a force to reckcon with? Here's the fabulous life and career of Jaimie Alexander.
Alexander was born in Greenville, South Carolina but moved to Grapevine, Texas when she was about four years old. She has four brothers.
Alexander first joined theater in middle school as a fun hobby, but she ended up getting kicked out of her high school theater program due to her lack of singing talent. That's when she turned to sports.
Alexander's return to acting was the result of serendipitous events at age 17. She filled in for a sick friend at a showcase. And her manager, Randy James, was attending in place of a friend who was giving birth. He still manages her to this day.
