Born in Ottawa and then raised in Toronto, natural blonde Kelly Rowan first found acting opportunities on Canadian television when she was 19. At this time Kelly was still training in workshops and classes such as Shakespeare and Second City for which she did a little fashion modelling in New York to help with the finances. Kelly won critical acclaim and the prestigious Gemimi Award for her heart-stopping performance in the television movie "Adrift."

Kelly is perhaps best remembered for her starring role opposite Samuel L. Jackson in the Warner Bros. thriller "187." Her other film credits include "Assassins," with Sylvester Stallone and Antonio Banderas, and "Hook," with Dustin Hoffman and Robin Williams.

She was also a series regular on Cold Feet and Lonesome Dove and has appeared as a guest lead on DaVinci's Inquest, Michael Hayes, and The Outer Limits, to list a few.

In 2003, she landed a starring role in the Fox network's hit new series, The O.C., playing Kirsten Cohen. During a break between the first and second season of the show, she traveled back to Toronto to film a role in The Perfect Man, starring Hilary Duff.

Kelly is also an active producer, currently overseeing several motion picture projects in development both in the United States and Canada. She has studied theater at such noted schools as the British American Drama Academy and the Neighborhood Playhouse.
