Caterina Scorsone is a Canadian actress. She is best known for her role as Amelia Shepherd on Private Practice and her role as Alice Hamilton in Alice. Her first TV appearances were regular guest spots as a child on the Canadian children's TV show Mr. Dressup starting at age eight. In 1998, she had a role in one of CBC radio's Mystery Project shows called, "Peggy Delaney". Caterina played the estranged fifteen-year-old daughter, Amber, who comes from Vancouver to stay with her mom for a school term in Toronto. The series where Caterina had her worldwide breakthrough was 1-800-Missing (now simply called Missing). She played the part of Jess Mastriani, a young woman who sees missing persons in visions. After Jess saved some missing persons, she joined the FBI, where a special squad was formed around her, to find missing persons.

In 2009, Scorsone starred as Alice Hamilton on the Syfy TV miniseries Alice. In 2010 she joined Private Practice in a recurring role of Amelia, the sister of Derek Shepherd from Grey's Anatomy. She was cast after Eric Stoltz, who was directing one of the show's episodes, heard about the role of Amelia and remembered Scorsone from working with her on My Horrible Year!. He mentioned her to Shonda Rhimes and commented on the resemblance Scorsone had to Patrick Dempsey (the actor who plays Derek Shepherd).

As of July 2010, Caterina has been promoted to series regular for Private Practice. She appeared in the third episode of the seventh season of Grey's Anatomy where she and Derek started to reconcile their differences.
