Vanessa Ferlito (born December 28, 1980) is an American actress. She is of Italian American descent[1] and was born in Brooklyn, New York to parents who owned a local hair salon. Her father died when she was three years old.[2]
Ferlito portrayed Claudia during 24's third season and had a small part in Spider-Man 2, but she is mostly known for her role as Detective Aiden Burn on CSI: New York. She chose to leave the show because she wanted to go back to New York.[3]
Ferlito gave birth to her first child in September 2007.[4] She is a vegetarian, supporter of animal rights, and an active member of PETA.[5] She is best known for her roles in "Man of the House" and "Quentin Tarantino"'s "Death Proof".
