Actress Emily Deschanel was born in Los Angeles to cinematographer and director Caleb Deschanel and actress Mary Jo Deschanel. Her sister Zooey Deschanel is also an actress. She graduated from Boston University's Professional Actors Training Program with a BFA in Theater.

Emily's first role was that of a paint-throwing fur activist in 1994's It Could Happen to You. She also appeared in Rose Red, Cold Mountain, The Alamo, and Glory Road. She is best known for her role as Dr. Temperance Brennan in FOX's Bones.

Notable Eco Activity

Emily is a known vegan and is a member of PETA. She publicly supported Karen Dawn's book "Thanking the Monkey: Rethinking the Way we Treat Animals" and appears in Dawn's promotional video. She's also a spokesperson for the Humane Society and has spoken out against dogfighting.

Deschanel also supports Women for Women International, an organization that assists women whose lives are affected by war, helping them "change their lives through a holistic approach that addresses the unique needs of women in conflict and post-conflict environments."

Famous Quotes

I'm a vegan, but you can be really unhealthy as a vegan, too. Vegan just means that you don't use animal products, so you don't wear leather, you don't wear wool, and you don't eat animal products. But you can eat french fries and stuff like that all day ...

I applaud Emily Deschanel for her help in educating people to the cruelties we subject our animal kingdom. My son is a vegan and I am a vegetarian and it took me many years to finally make the commitment. It is easy to give up meat and you can still eat very well. I lack for nothing and I am so glad my 18 year old son showed me the way. Peta is amazing and they will break your heart with the truth but people need to know the truth of where their food comes from. It is so cruel and heartless. I for one, want to do all I can to help for the rest of my life. So many areas that need to be addressed. So much ignorance out there. So much arrogance.

I think these days many actress and actors are turning vegan, which is a good sign to encourage people to become vegan. People tends to follow the flow and when they see these hollywood stars being vegan, I am sure they would also want to become the same. Overall, I appreciate Emily Deschanel helping work.
