She began her career in the recurring character of Cynthia Sanders in TV series Malcolm in the Middle between 2000 and 2002, followed by the role of Alex Rousseau in the ABC series Lost from 2006 to 2010. She has since played Carla Rinaldi on MTV's Death Valley (2011), starred in the horror film Texas Chainsaw 3D (2013) and portrayed Jodi Arias, the title role in the TV movie Jodi Arias: Dirty Little Secret (2013). In April 2015, she joined the cast of the TNT series The Last Ship.
Tania was born in Los Angeles, California, to an American father of Russian descent and a French mother (who is from Corsica, in the Mediterranean). She went to the Lycée Français de Los Angeles, where she obtained her French baccalauréat.
Tania Raymonde's first television role was as Alice/Young Syd in "Syd in Wonderland", an episode of the TV series Providence. She subsequently appeared on other TV series, including The Brothers Garcia, The Nightmare Room, That's So Raven, The Guardian, Lost, Medium, Malcolm in the Middle, and NCIS.
In 2002, she starred in the film Children on Their Birthdays, her first feature film role. In 2003 she played Lauren O'Keefe in the sitcom The O'Keefes.
She is most known for her work on the critically acclaimed ABC drama Lost, where she played Alex Rousseau, the adopted daughter of Benjamin Linus, played by Michael Emerson.
She also appeared in the films The Garage (2006), The Other Side of the Tracks (2008), Japan (2008), Chasing 3000 (2008), and Elsewhere (2009). She recurred opposite the late Dennis Hopper on the Starz series "Crash." Raymonde also had a recurring role as Frankie Rafferty, Danny Pino's love interest, on season 6 of Cold Case.
At 17 she wrote, edited and directed the short film Cell Division, which competed in film festivals around the country.
She appears in the music video for Maroon 5's "Won't Go Home Without You."
In 2013, Raymonde was cast in Chicago P.D., a spin-off of the NBC series Chicago Fire. However, she, along with co-star Scott Eastwood, left the show for creative reasons.
In 2013, Raymonde received positive reviews from critics when she portrayed convicted murderer Jodi Arias in the Lifetime original movie Jodi Arias: Dirty Little Secret.
She is currently working on her first feature as a director—a crime thriller she wrote set in Orange County called Little Saigon.
