Amy Smart, born in 1976 in California, is an American actress and former fashion model. Her mother, Judy Lysle, worked at a museum, while her father, John Boden Smart, was a salesman. During her childhood, Amy studied ballet for over a decade, which contributed to her early creative development and discipline.
Smart began her career as a fashion model and worked in Italy, where she met fellow model Ali Larter. Their friendship led both of them to move to Los Angeles to pursue acting. They later enrolled in acting classes together, marking Amy's transition from modeling to acting.
In 1993, Amy Smart appeared in the music video for The Lemonheads' song "It's About Time." She earned her first film role in the 1997 horror anthology film Campfire Tales, directed by Martin Kunert. That same year, she had a supporting role in the science fiction film Starship Troopers, where she portrayed a co-pilot alongside Denise Richards’ character, Carmen Ibanez.
Smart's acting credits grew to include small roles in films such as Queenie in 1996—a short film adaptation of John Updike's story "A&P." She also appeared in the television miniseries The '70s, in which she played a young woman from Ohio navigating the turbulent decade.
Other notable roles include appearances in Outside Providence, Varsity Blues, and a recurring role on the TV series Felicity. She also portrayed the love interest of the main character, J.D., in the popular medical comedy series Scrubs.
Amy Smart married television personality and HGTV host Carter Oosterhouse in 2011, in a ceremony held in Traverse City, Michigan. Before meeting, Smart was unfamiliar with Oosterhouse’s television work, as she was not a frequent TV viewer. The couple connected while working together for the Environmental Media Awards, discovering a shared passion for environmental advocacy.
Initially, both were in separate relationships, but they remained friends while collaborating on a school garden project. When their previous relationships ended around the same time, they began dating and married a year later. Their wedding was attended by approximately 220 guests.
Dedicated to sustainability, the couple frequently collaborates on eco-friendly initiatives. Oosterhouse’s expertise in green building has influenced Smart’s own interests. She has openly stated that she learns more about sustainable living every day through their shared lifestyle. The pair also own a hybrid car as part of their commitment to environmentally conscious living.
Amy Smart is known for maintaining a relaxed and low-maintenance appearance when not on set. She often wears her hair simply, pulled back in a ponytail with a headband, reflecting her casual and down-to-earth personal style. She prefers comfort and function over glamour in her everyday life, which aligns with her environmental values.
Accumulating wealth from both modeling and acting, Amy Smart has an estimated net worth of approximately $8 million. While she initially balanced both careers, she later decided to focus on acting full-time, pursuing a range of television and film roles that have defined her enduring presence in the entertainment industry.
