Alison Elizabeth "Ali" Larter (born February 28, 1976) is an American actress and former fashion model who is perhaps best known for her roles in television and films aimed at teenage audiences, most notably Heroes, Varsity Blues, House on Haunted Hill, Final Destination, Legally Blonde and Resident Evil: Extinction.



Ali Larter was born in Cherry Hill, New Jersey. She attended Carusi Middle School and Cherry Hill High School West. She began modeling with the world-renowned Ford Models at the age of thirteen and traveled the world. At seventeen, Larter settled temporarily in Japan. A year later, in 1995, she accompanied her boyfriend in his move to Los Angeles, California. Soon after, she began taking acting classes, at a friend's suggestion.



In November 1996, Larter played the hoax model Allegra Coleman in Esquire magazine. Even after the hoax had been revealed, its effects lingered, and she was wooed by various agencies. Larter landed her first professional role in 1997, in the television series Chicago Sons. The role was followed by a number of other appearances on several television series, including Dawson's Creek, Chicago Hope and Just Shoot Me!



In 1999, Larter began her film career with appearances in Varsity Blues and House on Haunted Hill. During the next few years, she appeared in a number of movies aimed at a teenage audience, including the box office successes Legally Blonde and Final Destination. In 2001, Larter performed in the stage play The Vagina Monologues in New York City. In 2002, Larter was ranked #40 in Stuff magazine's "102 Sexiest Women in the World".

"I hate pretty-looking boys. I'd rather have a guy with a potbelly than one who's in the gym all the time and watches what he eats."

As of September 2006, Larter is portraying Niki Sanders on the NBC TV series Heroes, and is scheduled to play Claire Redfield in Resident Evil: Extinction (2007). In the February 2007 issue of Stuff magazine, Larter dishes about her role on Heroes: "I'm drawn to playing strong women."
