Keri Russell Fast Facts:

Was a member of the Mesa Stars Dance and Drill team, which toured the U.S.; several dance scholarships followed.
Worked briefly as a model.
Had a three-year stint as a Mouseketeer on The New Mickey Mouse Club from 1991 to 1994.
Almost wasn't cast on Felicity because executive producer J.J. Abrams initially thought that she was too beautiful for the lead part; she later generated much press when she cut her trademark locks at the beginning of the show's 1999 season.
In 2004 made her stage debut in the off-Broadway production of Neil LaBute's Fat Pig. Her costars included Andrew McCarthy, Jeremy Piven and Ashlie Atkinson.
Tested for the role of Lois Lane for the 2006 movie Superman Returns (the part went to Kate Bosworth).
Enjoys household chores such as cleaning and doing laundry because she finds the tasks relaxing.
