After graduating from York, Pratt met
Robert Kennedy, publisher of
MuscleMag, who convinced Pratt to try her hand at
modelling and
acting. Pratt quickly found success as a
fitness model, gracing several magazine covers (including
MuscleMag and
Oxygen) and working alongside future
WWE stars
Trish Stratus and
Torrie Wilson. Pratt eventually began to land starring acting roles on television throughout the late 1990s, including
Xena: Warrior Princess,
Once a Thief,
Cleopatra 2525 (which she starred in for two seasons), and
Mutant X (which she starred in for three seasons). Pratt made her film debut in the 1998 film titled
Legacy, alongside
David Hasselhoff, directed by her future husband,
T. J. Scott. Pratt also starred in several
independent or small
made-for-TV movies during the 1990s and early 2000s. Pratt has since garnered a small
cult following who recognize her large body of work as an actress in cancelled, but popular
low-budget science fiction productions. There were several
Tumblr fan pages and websites dedicated to Pratt.
AskMen called her a "butt-kicking sci-fi queen." Since the mid-2000s, Pratt has guest-starred on several hit TV series including
CSI: Crime Scene Investigation (2009),
NCIS (2010),
Lie to Me (2011), and
Castle (2013). In 2006, Pratt co-starred with model
Josie Moran in the film
The Mallory Effect which premiered at the
Slamdance Film Festival. The same year Pratt starred with
Taye Diggs on the
ABC television series
Day Break (2006), which premiered on November 15, 2006. Pratt has continued modelling throughout her career, being named
Oxygen Magazines "Cover Girl" in 2011. She is a published author of adult fiction, her first book being
Double Down. ==Personal life==
