Julie M. Benz (født 1. mai 1972) er en amerikansk skuespillerinne. Hun er kanskje best kjent for sin rolle som Rita Bennett i TV-serien Dexter, som hun vant Satellite-prisen for kvinnelige birolle i en serie i 2006 . Hun er også kjent for sin rolle som Darla i serien Angel og Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Oppvekst

Benz ble født i Pittsburgh i Pennsylvania. Hennes far var kirurg. Moren var kunstløper. Familien bosatte seg i nærheten Murrysville da Benz var to år, og hun begynte med skøyter da hun var tre. Hun deltok det amerikanske juniormesterskapet i isdans med sin partner David Schilling i 1988. Hennes eldre bror og søster, Jeffrey og Jennifer, vant juniormesterskapet året før i 1987, og konkurrerte internasjonalt. Da Benz fylte 14 år, fikk hun utmattningsbrudd i høyre legg og måtte ta pause fra isdansen. Hun vokste opp i Murrysville, Pennsylvania, og ble uteksaminert fra Franklin Regional High School. Senere ble hun uteksaminert fra New York University.
