Dina Meyer (born December 22, 1968 in Queens, New York) is an American film actress.
Meyer, who is of Jewish heritage,[1] is said to have loved dancing and acting from an early age, but it wasn't until after she graduated from university that she started to work to become an actress. She attended Long Island University, where she majored in business administration. Among her hobbies and interests are snowboarding, rollerblading and biking. She currently lives in Los Angeles.
Meyer's film debut was in the TV film Strapped in 1993, although her role in the cyberpunk thriller Johnny Mnemonic was perhaps her breakthrough performance. Before that, however, she also had a role in the TV series Beverly Hills 90210 as Lucinda Nicholson. In addition to Johnny Mnemonic, she has had other roles in science fiction productions, such as Starship Troopers, Birds of Prey and Star Trek: Nemesis. Two of her most recent films were the 2004 horror/thriller hit Saw and its 2005 sequel Saw II. She made several guest appearances on Friends and Miss Match. She also played one of the leads on the now canceled Point Pleasant. In March 2006 Meyer was in the series premiere episode of Thief as Wanda the wife of Andre Braugher's character Nick. However, her character was killed in the first episode in a car wreck.
She reprised her role as Kerry in the third installment of the Saw series Saw III which came out on October 27, 2006
