American actress Tracy Scoggins was born and raised in Dickinson, Texas, where she graduated from Dickinson High School. At age 16, she enrolled at South West Texas State where she majored in speech communications and physical education.

After college, Tracy was hired by Elite Modeling Agency and made her television debut on the classic series "The Dukes of Hazzard." She went on to have major roles on the TV shows "The Colbys," "Dynasty" and "Lois & Clark, The New Adventures of Superman," but she is most known for her role as Captain Elizabeth Lochley on "Babylon 5."

Her feature film credits include "Dangerous Toys" with Bentley Mitchum, "Dead Space" with Billy Dee Williams, "Toy Soldiers" with Tim Robbins, "Watchers" (the film adaptation of Dean Koontz' best seller), the lead role of Evelyn opposite Maxwell Caulfield in "Dangerous Company," and "Timebomb" co-starring Michael Biehn and Patsy Kensit.

On stage Tracy starred in "The Sicilian Bachelor," which enjoyed a six-month run at the Tiffany Theatre. She won critical acclaim for her dynamic performance and received the Daily News coveted "Marquis Award" for Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy.

In addition to her film, television and stage work, Tracy takes on other projects that she believes in. This was made evident when she teamed up with Black Entertainment Television's popular talk show "Other Voices" host, Bev Smith, to host the video "Rape is Not An Option." The video makes a convincing case for rape prevention, providing several highly effective, common-sense self-defense techniques which require no special skills. "Rape is Not An Option" was "Highly Recommended" in both Library Journal and Video Rating Guide.

Known for her athletic prowess, Tracy was a natural to star in two workout videos. In "Tough Stuff," which she also produced, she leads a plyometric workout with friends Marcus Allen, former world champion boxer Carlos Palomino and pro-beach volleyball player Randy Stoklos. The second video, "Mind Your Body" on ABC Home Video, combines a high energy workout with Tracy's motivational coaching.

Tracy's passion for languages, the arts and travel are a balancing counterpoint to her continuing commitment to physical fitness and to acting. Most recently Tracy has starred in the "Babylon 5" TV movies "River of Souls" and "A Call to Arms," the Canadian TV series "The Secret Adventures of Jules Verne," and reprised her role as Captain Lochley in the "Babylon 5" spinoff series "Crusade."
