After an uncredited role in 2004’s Catwoman, Peregrym made her film debut playing the lead role in 2006’s Stick It, which is a film about a rebellious teenager who is forced to return to her former life in gymnastics but ends up liking her old life and continues to live it. Peregrym portrayed illusion-generating Candice Wilmer on the television series Heroes. Billed in promotional materials as “a female temptress” set to appear in the episode titledParasite, she actually debuted in a non-speaking role the prior week. She was cast in The CW’s television series Reaper as the female lead, in the role that was originally intended to be played by Nikki Reed, according to the Hollywood Reporter. Reaper was about a young man named Sam who became a bounty hunter for the devil. Missy played the role of Sam’s love interest, Andi. Peregrym currently stars in the lead role of Officer Andy McNally in the hit police drama Rookie Blue, which airs simultaneously in North America on Global TV in Canada and onABC in the U.S. Because of wintry weather logistics, filming must begin roughly one year in advance of airing, so the premiere season, set to debut in June 2010, began filming in August 2009. Ratings for the drama were so solid for ABC that it renewed the show for a second season after only three episodes.  ABC has announced after only a few episodes that it was picking up Rookie Blue for a third season to air in the summer of 2012.
