Meta Golding
Fluent in three languages; a former competitive ice skater; bloodthirsty District 2 tribute Enobaria in the blockbuster "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire" (2013). Is there nothing actress Meta Golding cannot accomplish? Raised primarily in Haiti but also a former resident of Italy, India and France, Golding did not begin acting until an injury forced her to quit the Italian national ice skating team, after which her newfound interest led her to move to the U.S. to study drama at Cornell University.
By the end of the 1990s she had made minor appearances on sitcoms such as "Malcolm & Eddie" (UPN, 1996-2000), and in the 2000s began juxtaposing her runway-ready looks with tough roles on procedurals such as "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation" (CBS, 2001-15) and "JAG" (NBC, 1995-96; CBS, 1997-2005). After landing a major role as Taye Diggs' sister on the time-warped "Day Break" (ABC, 2006-2007), Golding was cast as a just-promoted agent in a short story arc on CBS' "Criminal Minds" (2005- ).
Her portrayal of a vicious career tribute in the high-profile sequel "Catching Fire" represents just another chapter in Golding's unexpected but thriving career.
Born and raised in Haiti, Golding spent her childhood traveling the world, touching down in India, the U.S. and France. D
