It's easy to see Judi's model training whenever she appears in public. She owns every red carpet she walks on, and, truthfully, she just can't help it. Her stature and beauty are breathtaking.

Her big break into acting came from the long-running BBC soap, EastEnders, in which she played Marjorie "Precious" Hudson, hubby to gold-toothed gangster Angel Hudson. Precious gets into plenty of drama when she hooks up with another bad boy, Paul Trueman.

Featured in Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 2, Shekoni portrays the Amazonian vampire Zafrina who can project illusions in the minds of those surrounding her. Along with her coven sister Senna, she joins the Cullens against the evil Volturi in their efforts to protect Edward and Bella's hybrid child, Renesmee.

Having appeared on a range of series from NCIS and Damages to Backstrom and Mike & Molly, Shekoni has proven herself to be a go-to guest actor, especially whenever a series requires a statuesque bombshell.

So far, she's co-founded several companies including Extensions Evolution, a hair extensions brand, as well as Make It America and Actors Evolution, which provide assistance services for actors and entertainers relocating to the United States.

Who else could host a reality series entitled When Women Rule the World? She hosted the competition series in which independent women rule over a group of macho male contestants, who must act as servants until all but one has been voted off. While the Fox series never made it to air in the US, the island-set show aired in Europe and eventually spawned a British version.

Alongside The Secret Life of the American Teenager actress Camille Winbush, Shekoni presented the 2013 Best Acting award at the NO BULL Teen Video Awards, honoring young filmmakers who speak out against cyberbullying and use their work to promote social action.

In 2014, Shekoni starred in the sultry Bollywood movie, Club Dancer. In a true Bollywood fashion, Shekoni performed a full choreographed number on the shores of the exotic Arabian Sea.

With a series like Twilight already under her belt, appearing on the Heroes Reborn Comic-Con panel was a snap for Judi.

In fact, she exceeds them. Judi is a larger in life in NBC's Heroes Reborn.
