Lisa Smit is a versatile young actress who was, in the early stages of her career, compared to two time Oscar winner Jessica Lange (by director Patrice Toye ) and famous French beauty Brigitte Bardot (by cinematographer Bert Pot ), but who since then has completely grown into her own. Lisa acted for the first time in Gezocht: Man (2005) (TV). She then played a small part in Burgers/Reizigers (2005) (TV), directed by Janice Pierre , followed by a supporting role in "Niggaz of La Rouge" (2005), directed by Robert van Laar . She played her first leading role in another 2005 film: Liefs uit de Linnaeusstraat (2005) ("From Linnaeusstraat with Love"), directed by Barbara Bredero . From 7 December 2005 Lisa could be seen as Liselore in "De Griezelbus", directed by Pieter Kuijpers ( Van God Los (2003)) and based on the famous books by Paul van Loon . The movie was a sizable success with 225.000 admissions and a box office of over 1,3 million Eur's. In 2006 Lisa played a supporting role in Leyla Everaers' student film "Tyger", appeared fleetingly in Kate Brown's TV-film "Absolutely Positive" (which happened to be filmed at her school) and was a guest star on police-series "Boks" (in the "Onrust" episode) before landing a leading role in VPRO's youth-series "Willemspark", a comedy that chronicles the stressful life of four kids from the rich part of Amsterdam and was shown on Dutch television (NED 3) from Thursday February 8 2007 onwards. She then starred in the short film "Los", which won the Talent & Pro Award at the Dutch Film Festival, and in the box office smash, "TBS" ( TBS (2008)), a dark thriller in which she was kidnapped by an escaped convict. Despite its dark content, it sold over 120.000 tickets and was award ed a Golden Film. Lisa received rave reviews for her role, daily newspaper AD labeling her as 'the jewel in the crown of TBS' and highly critical film magazine De Filmkrant calling her 'a true discovery'.
