Biography

Ashley Michelle Greene was born in Jacksonville, Florida on February 21, 1987 to Joe and Michelle Greene. She has an older brother named Joe.

Greene originally wanted to be a model but was told she was too short to walk runways and star in fashion spreads. It was suggested she try out instead for commercials and to give acting a chance. After taking acting classes, she realized she loved it. She finished high school early at the age of 17 and moved to Los Angeles to pursue an acting career.

Greene mostly won small, guest roles for the first few years in Hollywood. She appeared on Ashton Kutcher's reality prank show Punk'd and the NBC hit Crossing Jordan.
