Alona Tal Movies
Born in Herzlia, Israel, on October 20, 1983, actress Alona Tal appeared on a pair of shows in her homeland before attempting to make a splash in the United States. After roles on CSI, Cold Case, and 7th Heaven, Tal was cast as Meg Manning in the cult hit Veronica Mars. She appeared in another recurring CW-series role on Supernatural, as Jo Harvelle, during the cult show's second season. In 2007, she landed a part opposite Daniella Monet in the teen comedy Taking 5, about two high-school friends who attempt to trick a popular boy band into playing a free concert in their hometown. Tal maintained her presence on the small screen by landing a regular part on the drama Cane that same year, opposite Jimmy Smits, but the show was canceled after just half a season. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide

Best described as Dallas with a Latino flavor, the CBS drama series Cane dealt with a wealthy and powerful Cuban-American family, the Duques, who ran a luctrative rum-and-sugar business in South Florida. Sensing that he wasn't long for this world, patriarch Pancho Duque (Hector Elizondo) began making arrangements to turn over his business to a younger member of the family--but which one? The two leading contenders were Pancho's oldest biological son Frank (Nestor Carbonell) and his adopted son Alex (Jimmy Smits), who in his own sly-and-cunning way was the series' "J.R." character. As Frank and Alex fought tooth and nail over control of the Duque empire, Frank indicated a willingness to sell out to the rival Samuels family, if for no other reason than he was having an affair with Ellis Samuels (Polly Walker). Alex resisted the notion of a sell-out, not only out of loyalty to his adoptive father, but also because he was married to Pancho's biological daughter Isabel (Paola Turbay), making him son and son-in-law all in one! Befitting his status as the series' "hero-villain", Alex handled his business and personal affairs with equal ruthlessness, especially when it came to his dealings with his own son Jaime (Michael Trevino), who in the earliest episodes was being pressured to stay in college, though he himself was torn between joining the Army and making a commitment to his girlfriend Rebecca (Alona Tal). Cane premiered on September 25, 2007. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
