Ayda Field was born on 17 May 1997 in LA, USA however her birth name is actually Ayda S. Evecan. She graduated from Harvard-Westlake High School in 1997 and even attended high school with Jake Gyllenhaal.

Ayda is certainly one hot girl with an ambition for a high-flying acting career. She first became known for her role in Days of Our Lives as Angela Moroni. How she ended up landing the role is absolutely hilarious. She had just graduated from Duke University when she got the opportunity to audition for the role of an Italian lady.

Instead of just showing off her ability to put on an accent, she went all the way by claiming that she was actually Italian and just recently arrived in America. Ayda managed to keep up the act for the entire first season by recording her answering machine message in an Italian accent.

To make the situation even more farcical, at the same time she had a part in Arli$$ as a French woman! To carry this off she recorded the voice mail on her cell phone in a French accent.

As if playing Italian and French ladies wasn’t enough, she then went on to play the role of a Russian mail order bride. It appears Ayda has a thing for accents which makes Blue Collar TV ideal for her as she’ll be able to try out lots of different accents with the various characters where will be portraying.

During the last few years, Ayda has mainly been given supporting roles on shows such as Back to You, Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, Will & Grace and Making it Legal. She’s also got a small part as a mountain nurse in the movie which will be released on 4 April 2008 in the UK.
