Kirsten Prout (born September 28, 1990 in Vancouver, British Columbia) is a Canadian actress. She is best known for the ABC Family television shows Kyle XY and The Lying Game.
After completing high school, Prout attended McGill University for one year, where she majored in English literature. The following summer she booked two acting projects, and decided to drop out of the university. Prout has a younger sister named Jennifer.
Prout started acting at the age of 10. She has said that her decision to go into acting was in response to a "horrible teacher in grade 2" who stifled her and made her withdraw. In response, Prout's mother asked "what can I do to make you happy again?". The answer was acting and Tae Kwon Do lessons.
Prout made her feature film debut as Abby Miller in the 2005 film Elektra, which was both a commercial and critical failure. She has also made guest appearances on television shows such as Stargate SG-1, Cold Squad, The Dead Zone. In 2010, Prout portrayed the vampire Lucy in The Twilight Saga: Eclipse.
In 2010, Prout starred as Miranda in Seven Deadly Sins, a two-part miniseries which premiered on Lifetime on May 23.
