Taryn Manning Biography |
|||||||||||||
| Taryn Manning is an American actress and singer/songwriter of the band Boomkat. Manning was born in Falls Church, Virginia. Her parents divorced in 1981, and her mother, Sharyn, worked two jobs in order to support Taryn and her older brother, Kellin; her father, a musician and hotel manager, committed suicide in 1993. She grew up in Tucson, Arizona, where her mother moved to after her divorce, and later in Los Alamitos, California, where she attended Orange County High School of the Arts. Manning started dancing at age twelve and won many competitions, including the Arizona state championship in karate. Manning began acting in the late 1990s, appearing in small roles in several film and television productions, including episodes of The Practice, Get Real, Boston Public, NYPD Blue and Popular. She tried out for WB's Popstars in 2001. Her first prominent feature film appearance was in the 2002 Britney Spears vehicle, Crossroads, where she played one of the Spears' character's best friends. Her subsequent film roles included supporting parts in White Oleander, 8 Mile, A Lot Like Love and the historical epic Cold Mountain. In 2003, Manning and her brother formed the band Boomkat. Their debut album, Boomkatalog.One, was released on March 18th, 2003. She sang a rendition of "I'll Take You There" with Tweet in a Gap commercial, and a Boomkat song was included on the 8 Mile soundtrack. In 2005, she appeared in the dark drama Hustle & Flow, opposite Terrence Howard, playing a troubled prostitute in the Deep South. The film received critical acclaim and was considered a minor success. Her next film will be Weirdsville, a dark comedy co-starring Scott Speedman and Wes Bentley. | |||||||||||||
