Hallee Leah Hirsh (born December 16, 1987[1]) is an American actress known for her roles as Mattie on JAG, Daley in the children's series Flight 29 Down, and as the adolescent and young adult Rachel Greene on ER. Starring alongside Kristen Stewart, Hirsh played Rachel Bruin in Speak.
Early life
Hallee was born on Offutt Air Force Base in Omaha, Nebraska, the daughter of Deborah, a naval officer, and Mike Hirsh, a Marine officer.[1] (Coincidentally, Hirsh would find herself acting on the naval-based show JAG, as Matilda "Mattie" Grace Johnson, for 17 episodes.) She began acting when she was 3, with her older brother Greg.[2]
Hirsch and her family moved frequently, first to Pensacola, Florida, where Hallee landed her first role after her first audition in Orlando for Disney's Big Red Boat cruise line.[2] When she was 4, her mother was transferred to Long Island, and Hallee began taking the train into Manhattan after school to audition almost daily, landing roles such as Annabel Fox in You've Got Mail.[2]
After her agent Abby Bluestone moved to Los Angeles, Hallee at age 11 and her family followed, and her mother was stationed in Monterey, California. Hallee lived in the Oakwood Toluca Hills apartment complex alongside other notable child stars such as Hilary Duff with her father, which she has referred to as "an important part of her life".[2] She graduated magna cum laude from UCLA in 2011, majoring in anthropology and minoring in Chinese.[2]
Career
Hirsh first portrayed Rachel Greene in the 2001-2002 season of ER in a storyline where a now teenage and rebellious Rachel leaves her mother in St. Louis to be with her father, Mark Greene, a role she played through the eighth season, when Mark dies and she returns home. Hirsh later reprised her role in 2004 in the season 10 episode "Midnight", visiting her stepmother Dr. Elizabeth Corday. In the ER series finale, aired April 2, 2009, entitled "And in the End", Hirsh's character returned as a candidate interviewing for medical school, bringing the Greene family history full circle.
Following her roles on ER and JAG, she starred in the award-winning Discovery Kids Channel teen series, Flight 29 Down. Often billed as a Lost for teens, the three season series followed a group of teens surviving on a deserted island after a charter flight they were travelling aboard crash landed.
Hirsh is the recipient of two Youth in Film Young Artist Awards and was nominated for best acting awards for four other roles.[3] She was nominated for Best Comedic Actress in a Feature Film at the 2009 Method Fest film festival for her work in 16 to Life[4] and won Best Actress for same role and film at both the 2010 Tunis International Film Festival[5][6] and the 2010 Alaska International Film Festival.[7]
Personal life
Hirsh married Ryan Martin in 2013 and they have one son, born May 29, 2014.[8] At the end of 2014, the family relocated from Los Angeles to Asheville, North Carolina,[9] where they operate a donut shop specializing in donuts made using local flavors and ingredients.
