Emmanuelle Vaugier
The Canadian cutie returns to steam up the small screen.

Maxim, August 2010

She scared our pants off in Saws (II and IV) and was the only reason we tuned in to Two and a Half Men (sorry, fat kid). Now Emmanuelle is starring as a feisty investi-gative reporter in USA’s new series Covert Affairs. Here’s why she’s the type of woman to whom we’d gladly spill all our secrets.

She’s a blast!
“Put a gun in my hand or give me a fight scene and I’m as happy as can be. On past sets I’ve even fired a machine gun! It’s stuff I enjoy and find fascinating in a safe environment.”

She’s a Canuck!
“I don’t conform to many stereotypes, besides living in an igloo. It was exciting for me to see Canada win at the Olympics. I watched the gold medal hockey game surrounded by Americans and feared for my life a little bit.”

She likes nice guys!
“The bad boy thing gets old. I prefer someone who wants to be with me. If you wanna have an awesome time, take me to the gun range!”
