Alexis Knapp

Early life

Knapp was born in Avonmore, Pennsylvania, the daughter of Marjorie and Bradford Elwood Knapp. She grew up in North Carolina before moving to Los Angeles when she was 18.

Career

In 2008, Knapp hosted a popular internet video series titled 'Project Lore', a show about the video game World of Warcraft, and also worked as a model before breaking into acting. She appeared in background roles in Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief as Aphrodite Girl #9 and in Couples Retreat as a Dance Academy Girl. In 2012, Knapp appeared in her first major roles: Alexis in Project X and the sex-crazed singer Stacie Conrad in Pitch Perfect. She reprised the role of Stacie in Pitch Perfect 2, and made a brief cameo appearance in Pitch Perfect 3. In a 2017 interview, Knapp revealed that playing Stacie was difficult for her because the character was so unlike her.

Knapp appeared in the pilot of ABC's short-lived series Super Fun Night, written by and starring her Pitch Perfect co-star Rebel Wilson. She starred in the Tom Vaughan directed film So Undercover, as Taylor Jaffe. Knapp had a starring role in the first season of the TBS comedy, Ground Floor, portraying Tori, a party girl, who catches up on her sleep at work the next morning, but her character was dropped before the second season. She was cast in the Lifetime pilot Cinnamon Girl, which did not get picked up as a series. Knapp also starred in the independent short film Wracked, as Melissa. In 2017, she starred as Samantha in the Lifetime Christmas television film My Christmas Prince.

Personal life

Knapp dated actor Ryan Phillippe in mid-2010. The relationship ended that September. After their breakup, Knapp discovered that she was pregnant. She gave birth to their daughter in 2011; Phillippe was present during the birth.
