Niki Sanders / Ali Larter


Ali Larter stars in NBC's Emmy Award-nominated ensemble drama series "Heroes" as Niki Sanders, a single mother with astonishing strength. Niki struggles to support her exceptionally gifted son Micah while maintaining an inner balance with her volatile, amoral mirror image Jessica. "Heroes" follows the lives of ordinary people who discover they possess extraordinary abilities.

Larter starred in the successful first and second installments of the "Final Destination" franchise and opposite Reese Witherspoon in the hit film "Legally Blonde." In addition, Larter enjoyed a successful run on the New York stage in "The Vagina Monologues."

Making her feature-film debut in the blockbuster hit "Varsity Blues," Larter's credits include "A Lot Like Love," "American Outlaws" (starring opposite Colin Farrell), "Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back" (for writer-director-actor Kevin Smith), "The House on Haunted Hill," (a remake of the original Vincent Price horror classic with Taye Diggs and Geoffrey Rush), and "Drive Me Crazy."

Larter will star this fall opposite Milla Jovovich in "Resident Evil 3: Extinction" as Claire Redfield, a new character to the film series who appears in the video game "Resident Evil 2." Larter's other film credits include the independent film "Crazy" and the soon-to-be released "Marigold."

A native of Cherry Hill, New Jersey, Larter began modeling at 13 and traveled the world before moving to New York. She currently lives in Los Angeles. Her birthday is February 28.
