Scottie Thompson is on the fast track to becoming one of Hollywood's leading ladies. She most recently starred as Diana Van Dine in a recurring role in the NBC show Trauma, alongside Derek Luke. She also appeared as Jeanne Benoit in recurring roles in the CBS crime drama NCIS: Naval Criminal Investigative Service, and appeared in Showtime's Brotherhood.

Thompson's additional film credits include a starring role in the U.K. production of Coulda, Woulda, Shoulda and a role, alongside Chris Pine and Eric Bana, in J.J. Abrams' 2009 reboot of the hit franchise Star Trek. She has made several guest appearances on television shows including CSI: NY, Bones and Ugly Betty.

Thompson studied performance studies and literature, and focused on French and postcolonial works, at Harvard University. It was during her time at Harvard that she discovered her love for acting. She performed in a number of plays such as Macbeth (2002), Marisol (2003) and The Oresteia (2005). She also helped choreograph several plays. In 2005, after she graduated from Harvard, Thompson relocated to New York to start her acting career.

Thompson grew up in Richmond, Virginia, with a love for dance and performance. She started taking ballet at an early age and, in 1994, played the role of Clara in the Richmond Ballet Company's The Nutcracker. Immediately following her high school graduation, Thompson took a year off from school to dance with the Richmond Ballet Company.

Thompson currently resides in Los Angeles.
