A native of Detroit, Michigan, and a mid-west girl at heart, Crystal Reed always knew she wanted to perform, "I am humbled to be a part of a creative community that has given me such an opportunity. Acting is my passion. It is my love affair."
Playing the lead-female "Allison Argent" in the much-anticipated MTV series Teen Wolf, which premieres in June 2011, Reed stars as Allison Argent, the smart, mysterious character "radiating with an innocent beauty," who is immediately smitten by the series leading-male Scott (Teen Wolf). She recently landed her first feature, starring role in Universal Studio's upcoming sci-fi thriller Skyline opposite Donald Faison and Eric Balfour, which is set to be released on November 12. In the summer of 2011, Reed will appear in the upcoming Warner Brothers feature Crazy, Stupid, Love opposite Steve Carell and Ryan Gosling. Reed has guest starred on CSI, RIZZOLI & ISLES, and THE HARD TIMES OF RJ BERGER. Crystal Reed attended Wayne State University and was a part of the BFA program. She moved to Chicago and appeared in local productions throughout the city. As a child she dreamed of telling stories and taking others on an emotional journey to new worlds. She studied dance from an early age and was dance captain in high school in Roseville, CA. She was an active member of her local community theatre and starred in various productions, including Annie, Fiddler on the Roof, and Grease. Reed moved to Hollywood in December of 2008 and continually hones her craft by taking acting classes in Los Angeles.
