Extended Profile
Upon graduating from the renowned Theatre Nepean (the prestigious actor training institution within the School of Contemporary Arts at the University of Western Sydney) in 2003, Yvonne Strahovski quickly established herself as a newcomer well worth watching.

Recognizing her talent, Australia’s Channel 7 soon snapped her up for its new drama series, “Headland” Although the show was short-lived, it was enough to help get her cast opposite Colin Friels in the television movie “Blackjack-Dead Memory” She then went on to play Martina in Channel 9’s drama-series, “Sea Patrol”.

Two short years later, Strahovski landed her first feature film, playing Sondra in “Middle of Nowhere.” This was closely followed by the soon-to-be-released psychological thriller, “The Plex”.

Strahovski also has a passionate interest in theater as both an actor and writer. Earlier this year, she resurrected her cult play, “Kieslowski’s Neck,” which opened to rave reviews in Sydney.

Within days of her arrival in Los Angeles just a few short months ago, Strahovski immediately landed her role in NBC’s “Chuck”. The 24-year-old auditioned for the series during her third day in Los Angeles. Strzechowski admitted she was still unsure how she nabbed the lead TV role, although she was given a hint: “I know that one of the distinguishing things was I looked like I could hold a gun, even though I’d never held one before,” she said. “And I’m physically able to do the martial arts and all that stuff. I’ve got muscles; I’m not really a girly girl.”.

Currently, Strahovski is filming “The Canyon” opposite Eion Bailey, a thriller directed by Richard Harrah. As her name suggests, she is of Polish descent and speaks fluent Polish. She currently resides in Los Angeles.

MVP for the Black Mamba

Kobe Bryant of the Los Angeles Lakers is the winner of the Maurice Podoloff Trophy as the 2007-08 NBA Most Valuable Player presented by Kia Motors, the NBA announced today.
The 11-year NBA veteran totaled 1,105 points, including 82 first place votes, from a panel of 126 sportswriters and broadcasters throughout the United States and Canada. Players were awarded 10 points for each first-place vote, seven points for each second-place vote, five for third, three for fourth and one for each fifth-place vote.

As part of its support of the Most Valuable Player Award, Kia Motors will donate a brand-new 2009 Kia Borrego seven-passenger SUV on behalf of Bryant to the East L.A. Boys and Girls Club. Kia Motors presented a Borrego to the charity of choice of each of the four year-end 2007-08 award winners as part of the “The NBA Performance Awards Presented by Kia Motors.”

Rounding out the top five in voting for this season’s award were New Orleans’ Chris Paul (889 points), Boston’s Kevin Garnett (670 points), Cleveland’s LeBron James (438 points) and Orlando’s Dwight Howard (60 points).

Bryant finished the season ranked second in the league in scoring at 28.3 ppg, having shot .459 from the field, .840 from the free-throw line and .361 from three-point range. In addition, Bryant added 6.3 rebounds, 5.4 assists and 1.8 steals per game. The 6-6 guard led the Lakers to the best record in the Western Conference (57-25, .695), a 15-game improvement over last year (42-40, .512), and the franchise’s 19th Pacific Division title.

Bryant is the youngest player in NBA history to score 20,000 career points and the 16th player in league history to tally 21,000 points and 4,000 assists. This season, Bryant moved past 12 players on the all-time scoring list, including Hall of Famers George Gervin, Bob Pettit, Walt Bellamy and Hal Greer, to 24th all-time. Bryant was named NBA Western Conference Player of the Week three times (Jan. 14, March 3, April 7) and NBA Western Conference Player of the Month presented by Kia Motors twice this season (February, April).

The NBA MVP trophy is named in honor of the late Maurice Podoloff, the first commissioner of the NBA who served from 1946 until his retirement in 1963.
