Eliza Dushku Back in the 'Dollhouse'

Eliza Dushku has returned for the second season of the Joss Whedon-created action-drama "Dollhouse" on FOX.

Dusku plays ECHO, an "Active" in the DOLLHOUSE, 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.

BIO FROM FOX: The daughter of an Albanian-American administrator father and Danish-American professor mother, Eliza Dushku was raised with ambition in her blood. At the early age of 10, Dushku was discovered by casting agents for the lead role of "Alice" in the film "That Night."

Dushku was most recently seen co-starring with Alan Rickman and Bill Pullman in "Bottle Shock," a drama about the birth of the Napa Valley wine country. Dushku was reunited with Rickman and the film's director, Randall Miller, this December for the feature film "Nobel Son."

In 1993, Dushku landed the role of "Pearl" alongside Robert De Niro and Leonardo DiCaprio in "This Boy's Life," a role that caught the attention of many in the industry. The following year, she starred with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jamie Lee Curtis in "True Lies," opposite Paul Reiser in "Bye Bye, Love" and alongside Halle Berry in "Race the Sun."

After completing high school, Dushku returned to acting with the role of "Faith Lehane" on "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," a slayer much more troubled than the main character "Buffy Summers." Though initially planned as a five-episode role, the character became so popular that Dushku stayed on for the entire third season and returned for a two-part appearance the following season. The remainder of her original story arc was played out in the first season of the spin-off "Angel." Repentant and rededicated, "Faith" returned as a heroine in a number of later episodes of "Angel" and in the last five episodes of "Buffy."

Dushku resides in Los Angeles.
