Malin Maria Åkerman is a Swedish–Canadian actress and model. She was born in Stockholm, Sweden and moved to Canada at the age of two. As a child, she appeared in several television commercials before going on to win a modelling contract at age sixteen. Åkerman's acting career began with her debut on the Canadian television series Earth: Final Conflict in 1997, after which she made appearances on several other Canadian productions. In the early 2000s, she had many television and film parts, including The Utopian Society (2003) and Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle (2004). Following a supporting role on the short-lived comedy series The Comeback (2005), Åkerman gained her first starring role in the film The Heartbreak Kid (2007).
Åkerman got her big break in 2009, when cast as Silk Spectre II in the superhero film Watchmen, a role for which she was nominated for a Saturn Award for Best Supporting Actress. The same year, Åkerman had supporting and starring roles in both The Proposal and Couples Retreat, two commercial hits that garnered mixed to negative reviews. In 2010, she became part of the main cast on the comedy series Childrens Hospital. Åkerman was the lead singer for the alternative rock band The Petalstones, but eventually left to focus on acting. She has been married to the band's drummer, Roberto Zincone since 2007. The couple resides in Los Angeles, California.
