Born in Honolulu, Hawaii, 26 year old Maggie Q is tearing up the sets of Tom Cruise’s upcoming movie “Mission Impossible III.” Maggie is already a huge star in Hong Kong, and her new role in MI3 will surely heat things up even more. Maggie’s unique mixture of Polish-Irish American and Vietnamese has caught the eyes of many major publications.

She’s landed the covers of Cosmopolitan, Marie Claire and the infamous FHM. Her action movie list includes brief roles in both “Rush Hour 2″ and Around the World in 80 days” with Jackie Chan.

Working on on the set of MI3 has taught her combat skills which she claims has taught her how to rescue a hostage. Boy, wouldn’t we love to be captured and rescued by this gal!
