Toni Trucks is a rising star who appears in two feature films
and a new television drama this year. First, she co-stars in Fox
Searchlight’s film “Ruby Sparks”
(July 25). The film stars Paul Dano, Zoe Kazan and is the latest
release from directors Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris (Little Miss
Sunshine). She will also be featured in the final installment of the
blockbuster hit series Breaking Dawn as Mary, a member of the American Nomadic Vampire coven.
Trucks is a series regular in the new CBS legal drama, “Made in Jersey,” about a working-class woman named Marina (Janet Montgomery) who uses her street smarts to compete with her more polished colleagues at a top New York law firm. Trucks will play Cyndi Vega, Marina's lively secretary and "comradette" in arms. She also guest stars in the pilot of NBC’s mid-season thriller “Do No Harm.”
Born and raised in a small northern Michigan community, Trucks attended both the camp and academy of the prestigious Interlochen Arts Academy. She then earned her BFA in Musical Theatre from the University of Michigan.
Upon graduation, Trucks moved to New York where she performed regionally before relocating to Los Angeles to make her television debut as the female lead on Showtime’s acclaimed comedy series Barbershop[1] Her other television credits include “House,” 'All of Us, Veronica Mars, 'Til Death, “Brothers,” “CSI: NY” and the telefilms Star Runners and StarStruck.
Her previous film credits include 'Dreamgirls, 'Weapons, and Music and Lyrics.
Theatre credits include “Cactus Flower,” “Stormy Weather”, “Kiss Me, Kate”, “West Side Story,” “Oklahoma!,” “Follies,” “Footloose,” “Two Gentlemen of Verona,” “Ragtime,” “Sweet Charity” and “Children of Eden.” Additionally, Trucks studied theatre abroad at London’s Marymount College and has over 17 years of dance training including ballet, modern and tap.
Trucks now splits her time between Los Angeles and New York, where “Made in Jersey” shoots on location.
