She plays Layla Keating on 'All American'
Inspired by the true-life story of NFL Super Bowl champion Spencer Paysinger, the CW sport drama follows a high school football phenom from South Central Los Angeles who transfers to a posh school in Beverly Hills.
The 31-year-old actress may star on “All American,” but Greta was actually born in St. Petersburg, Russia. She and her family moved to Toronto, Canada, when she was 5 years old, but she can still speak Russian.

Her first acting job was at 10 years old in a commercial for a pasta company. Sounds like a fun job, but she says she wasn’t allowed to actually eat any of the food!

Greta’s first television role was on the Canadian soap “Degrassi: The Next Generation.” She played Sirina in the Season 6 episode “Working for the Weekend.”
