Eliza was born in Boston, MA and began acting at the Watertown Children's Theater when she was a child. In her spare time, she returns to this theater to sign the performances for the deaf, because she is not only wonderful, but she cares about helping other people.         She was discovered during a search to find the perfect actress to star opposite Juliette Lewis in "That Night." This starring role led to smaller roles in subsequent films up until 1996, when Eliza decided to take time off from acting and devote herself to her grades and enjoying her last two years of high school. After that, Eliza decided to put off attending college (she was accepted to both Boston University and George Washington University) to accept the role of Faith in "Buffy, the Vampire Slayer." And we are all very happy she did.       Next season, she will leave "Buffy" to resume her role as Faith in the upcoming new series, "Angel." This means that we can get our fill of Faith and not have to deal with all that Buffy/Angel angst. Thank the gods.
