Throughout her early childhood, Emily Warfield moved from city to city (and sometimes country to country) every year. It was during this time that she began to rely on her imagination for companionship. She read constantly and acted out the scenes in her head. Emily had wanted to act since she was five years old but was never allowed to pursue it until her family finally settled in Arlington, Texas when she was thirteen. She absorbed as much theatre as she could while pursuing a film/television career at the same time. She worked consistently in the Dallas area until she got her biggest break as Maureen, Reese Witherspoon's older sister in The Man in the Moon. After filming, Emily decided to take a year for herself to explore college. It was during this time that she met and married her husband, Scott. She was barely nineteen years old. They moved to Los Angeles where she worked mostly in television movies-of-the-week as well as episodics. After only two years, they realized they wanted to start their family but wanted to raise their children closer to relatives back in Texas. Since 1995, Emily has had three children, finished her college education (while pregnant), and even taught theatre at her alma mater, James Martin High School. While teaching, she rediscovered her love for acting. Her husband, always supportive, encouraged her to pursue her dream and moved the family back to California. Emily is now actively working towards rebuilding her career and can think of no greater legacy to leave her children than to inspire them to live their lives to the fullest and without fear. Hide
