Shannyn Sossamon short bio Hollywood has mirrored the Camelot in which Shannyn Sossamon found herself in her breakthrough role as the leading lady in A Knight's Tale (2001). Shannyn, who credits her striking looks to an eclectic mix of French, Hawaiian, Dutch, Irish, Filipino and German was born Shannon Marie Kahoolani Sossamon in Honolulu, Hawaii. At the age of three, Shannyn and her family moved to a new exotic locale: Reno, Nevada. At 17, promptly after high school graduation, she left her small town life for a career in dance in Los Angeles. While attending Dance Unlimited, Shannyn began her alternate career as a D.J. in local clubs. Acting was not high on the young dancer's priority list, aside from a series of commercials, not for lack of interest but for the fact that she was content with her life in L.A. as it was. It was in 1999, when Shannyn was helping a friend D.J. at a birthday party for Gwyneth Paltrow that a new chapter began in her fairy tale life. Francine Maisler, a casting director known for such films as The Usual Suspects (1995), spotted Shannyn. Shortly thereafter Shannyn found herself with the backing of an influential Hollywood name and a slew of auditions. Many offers had no appeal to the established D.J. until A Knight's Tale (2001) came along; she determined she wanted the lead role and after six call backs, beat out the competition. Admittedly, the dancer turned actress knew little of her Australian costar Heath Ledger but the two became friends during filming. Shannyn continues to D.J. every Tuesday night at a local club in L.A., but the rest of her time is filled with filming and travel.
Hawaiian born but raised in Reno, Nevada, Shannyn Sossamon left her hometown the day after graduating high school for Los Angeles to pursue dance. Shortly thereafter, and while filling in as a DJ for a friend at party, she was spotted by casting director Francine Maisler - who introduced her to Brian Helgeland and for his film "A Knight's Tale. Determined for the lead role and a handful of auditions later, Sossamon was decidedly set as portraying the beautiful 'Lady Jocelyn' and starring opposite Heath Ledger.
Most recently, she completed filming the independent film "Wristcutters," about three persons journey in an afterlife for suicide victims - 'Mikal' (Sossamon), a beautiful hitchhiker, who is searching for the people in charge, as she only "accidentally" overdosed, meets 'Zia' (Patrick Fugit) and together they explore this strange afterlife and eventually fall in love. The film also co-stars Tom Waits.
In 2002 she starred in "40 Days 40 Nights" opposite Josh Hartnett, and "The Rules of Attraction," for director Roger Avary. In 2003 Sossamon reunited with Ledger and they co-starred in "The Order" for director Brian Helgeland. Her credits include "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang," "Chasing Ghosts" and "Undiscovered," among others.
