Eliza Dushku is a beautiful and talented movie and TV actress who may be ready to break through to the next level of Hollywood stardom. With memorable rolls in Bring It On and Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Dushku will star in a new Joss Whedon series Dollhouse, which premieres tonight. This is her second shot at a staring roll in a series after her last time around with Tru Calling.

According to the FOX site, Eliza Dushku stars as “ECHO,” an “Active,” a member of a highly illegal and underground group of individuals who have had their personalities wiped clean so they can be imprinted with any number of new personas. Hired by the wealthy, powerful and connected, the Actives don’t just perform their hired roles, they wholly become — with mind, personality and physiology — whomever the client wants or needs them to be. Whether imprinted to be a lover, an assassin, a corporate negotiator or a best friend, the Actives know no other life than the specific engagements they are in at that time.

Dushku appeared on Howard Stern this week, and came of as playful, intelligent and with a good sense of humor. She was raised Mormon and once said people “have a better chance of seeing God then seeing me naked,” so don’t expect to see her nude on screen any time soon.
