Former “Melrose Place” star Jamie Luner has turned to crime – or, at least, to investigating it – in the NBC suspense series, “Profiler.” A Los Angeles native, the 28-year-old ravishing redhead began appearing in commercials when she was just 4. But, it was after Luner won an acting award at a Shakespeare festival in high school, that she decided to make the world her stage.

Appearances on “Growing Pains” led to a role in the spin-off series “Just the Ten of Us,” as well as guest spots on “Diagnosis, Murder” and “Married With Children.” The 5-foot-9-inch stunner also starred in the TV series “Savannah” and a number of films, including “Friends & Lovers” with Robert Downey Jr.

Luner can be seen later this year, opposite Michael Madsen, in the film “Sacrifice.”
