February 2011
Mena was cast as Amelia Davis in No Surrender. Amelia’s blog empowering women not to tolerate violent relationships has brought her fame, fortune and now someone is out to hurt her. Is it the new man in her life, her now paroled ex who inspired the blog, or a deranged fan? Just as she has put the pieces of her life back together, Amelia must figure out who is behind the bizarre incidents and stop them before her own life comes to an ironic and violent end.

Born in Newport, Rhode Island, and named after an Egyptian godmother, Suvari spent her early years in an old stone mansion that she insists was haunted. The family later relocated to Charleston, South Carolina, where her three older brothers lined up to attend the Citadel (a military college). Mena, meanwhile, was entertaining dreams of becoming an archaeologist, astronaut, or doctor. Her interests took a turn for the… less cerebral, however, when a modeling agency stopped by her all-girls school to offer classes. At age 12, after receiving a few pointers on her runway strut, Suvari attended a modeling convention (AMTC) and was snapped up by the New York-based Wilhelmina agency.

She commuted up and down the East Coast for two years before her parents, Candice (a nurse) and Ando (a retired psychiatrist), decided to move their budding starlet to California. When she reached L.A., Suvari started in on TV work almost immediately—commercials at first, followed by guest appearances on Boy Meets World (1993), ER (1994), and Chicago Hope (1994). She launched her movie career in 1997, picking up small roles in Gregg Araki’s Nowhere (1997) and the Morgan Freeman- Ashley Judd thriller Kiss the Girls (1997). She popped up again in the background of Slums of Beverly Hills (1998), then landed a slightly meatier role as the best friend of the telekinetic heroine in The Rage: Carrie 2 (1999). Suvari’s ticket to fame was American Pie (1999), which cast her as a wholesome high-schooler who falls for a jock (Chris Klein).
