Sandra Hess is a Swiss actress, born on March 27, 1968 in Zurich, Switzerland.
She began modelling and working on television commercials when she was just 15. After completing high school, she entered the University of Zurich to study law but quickly decided it wasn't the right direction for her. She came alone to the United States to build an acting career and to find success.
Once settled in Los Angeles, Sandra started taking acting classes. Her first break was the comedy film Encino Man, playing a cavewoman to Brendan Fraser's caveman character. She later landed the lead role of Sonya in the film Mortal Kombat: Annihilation. Sandra enjoyed the action aspects of that project and, since then, finds herself happily cast in other action roles.
Among her other roles are the lead in the telefilm Nick Fury: Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. (in which she played a villain), based on the Marvel comic, and guest spots in the series Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, Sliders and SeaQuest DSV. She has also recently appeared as a guest star in CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, appearing on the show's fourth season premiere episode.
Sandra has been in Pensacola: Wings of Gold where she plays Alexandra "Ice" Jensen, one of the few women in the squadron and a member of the Nuggets with the "Sharpshooters."
A few years ago, Sandra Hess bought a house in Los Angeles. She lives there with her fiance Michael Trucco (co-star in Pensacola: Wings of Gold), her dog Gracie and her cat Cosmo. In her infrequent free time, Sandra enjoys yoga, working out, visiting friends, and hiking with Gracie, a stray dog she saved from the streets of Los Angeles.
