Taylor Roberts
Taylor Roberts is an actress, author, and fashion model. She is perhaps most recognized for her role as Camilla Barnes in Law and Order: Criminal Intent. Proving her versatility she went against her young ingénue demeanor to play the surprise murderer opposite Vincent D'Onofrio, Margaret Colin, and Brent Spiner. Formerly an accomplished ballet dancer, Taylor Roberts came of age in the highly disciplined dance field, performing with such companies as the Royal Ballet of London and training at the prestigious Kirov Academy of Ballet. She is a classically trained actress having received her degree from the UNCSA Theatre Conservatory. On stage she has tackled such roles as Rosalind in Shakespeare's As You Like It, Emily in Our Town, Nastya in Gorky's The Lower Depths, and Abigail Adams in 1776. A North Carolina girl at heart, Taylor was named for her Mother's side of the family. The Taylors were original settlers of Carolina and Virginia, and Taylor's grandfather was a cousin of the late actress, Dame Elizabeth Taylor. Amid her theater training Taylor began working on the feature film, Mona Lisa Smile as a principal cast member, learning the ropes alongside Julia Roberts, Julia Stiles, Marcia Gaye Harden, Kirsten Dunst, and Maggie Gyllenhaal, under the direction of Mike Newell. Soon after, Taylor was personally invited to participate in a series of staged readings organized by Al Pacino and Patrice Chéreau.
