Born and raised in Paddington, London, Mitra first gained prominence as Scott Wolf’s illicit love interest in Party of Five.

She has released two studio albums, starred in a host of TV series and films, and shows no signs of slowing down.
Cast as Tara Wilson, Mitra earned high praise for her performance in the acclaimed crime-dramedy series Boston Legal. Her star turn earned her a Screen Actors Guild Award nomination. Later, Mitra picked up a Scream Award nomination for Best Actress for her scene-stealing appearance in Underworld: Rise of the Lycans. Over the years, Mitra has displayed incredible versatility with her diverse range of projects and character choices. She has played Kit McGraw in FX’s hit series Nip/Tuck, prevented extinction in Doomsday and featured in the CW’s Supergirl.
Beyond the screen, Mitra hosts the topical podcast, The Last Ark.
