KATRINA LAW

Character: Mira, slave of Quintus Lentulus Batiatus and Lucretia

Where she’s from: New Jersey

Other notable projects: In addition to commercials for products like Degree deodorant, Xbox, and Pepsi, she has also appeared on Chuck and Third Watch. We hope her chemistry with Lucy Lawless, who plays Lucretia, soon leads to a pilot for Law and the Lawless.

What you should know: A member of The National Honors Society, Law wasn’t too brainy to participate in beauty pageants: She repped New Jersey at the Miss Teen USA finals after taking the crown in her home state. She won’t reveal the source of her multiracial good looks, though, saying only that her dad, “a Catholic of German and Italian decent serving in the U.S. armed forces,” and mom, “a Buddhist living in Taiwan, working as a bartender” met during the Vietnam War. Truly a mystery we’d love to get to the bottom of.
