Besides having a good line in scowls and cutting one-liners, one of the major strengths of Emily VanCamps Revenge performance is her fighting skills. She got to show off her martial arts chops a little in Captain America: The Winter Soldier as well, once she stopped pretending to be a neighbour struggling with washing and revealed she was a SHIELD agent. Hopefully shell get to do more of that in the next Captain America film, because shes a dab hand with that fight choreography. Something VanCamp herself puts down to her past as a dancer: she started studying at age three, went to a summer training camp at eleven, and was accepted at the school of the Canadian Royal Ballet soon after. To a degree she was following in her older sisters footsteps, who is now a retired dancer who lives with her husband and daughter in Tokyo. VanCamp, meanwhile, was lead into acting by her other sister. She visited Katie VanCamp on the set of the film Ladies Room, got the acting book, started taking classes, and the rest is history. Fighty history.
