Eliska Sursova
- Actress
Eliska Amor was born on Valentines Day, 1988, in Manhattan, New York
City, to young parents. While attending school, Eliska's school theatre
teacher and Head of the Drama Department commented on "her outstanding
ability to transform herself in a way only a trained actor could do,"
and promptly suggested she attend a prearranged interview with a
notable Hollywood agent. Hesitant, for a number of personal reasons
including her already established bond with acting as a form of mental
escape during her parents rocky marriage, a then thirteen year old
Eliska eventually agreed to the meeting with the permission of her
parents, despite their concerns that her status as an honor student may
be jeopardized. Shortly after contracting elite representation, Eliska
begun her career in television with a prestige first time role as Ana
in the pilot episode of ER. Following with a string of minor guest
roles on Goosebumps, American Gothic, Smallville, Boston Public and
Ncis, Eliska was contacted and then signed by 713 Models (formerly
known as Page Parkes Modeling Agency) in New York and was immediately
booked by a number of high-profile clients such as Calvin Klein,
Lonsdale London, YSL, Ralph Lauren, Swatch and Billabong despite the
negatives regarding her height. However in 2005 Eliska begun to turn
down offers with the mentality to focus on her career in acting. In
2006, Eliska was accepted to Ivy League school, Brown University,
however the actress has deferred her schooling to act, but plans to
return in the future.
