Fresh star stories with a cool online feel.

She may have wowed moviegoers in the action-packed Fast & Furious franchise, but Gal Gadot has also delivered some memorable performances in smaller roles on both the big and small screens.

While Knight and Day wasn't exactly praised by critics, Gadot, who craftily portrayed a henchwoman, easily fit in with the film's big stars, Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz. This should have been the first sign that she would become a Hollywood heavyweight in her own right.

Changing gears, Gadot showed her more playful side as Natanya, one of Holbrooke's (Mark Wahlberg) many love interests in Date Night. He describes her as an Israeli who "doesn't speak much English" just before she asks his guests (Steve Carell and Tina Fey), "You two make sex with us?" We won't share any spoilers, but let's just say that the offer was met with a bit of shock.

Capitalizing on her gorgeous gams, Gadot also appeared in the "Almost Friends" episode of Entourage as Lisa, a supermodel who has the misfortune of dating Vincent Chase (played by Adrian Grenier).
