Scorsone was born in Toronto, Ontario. She is the middle child of five in her family. Her 4 siblings include: 2 older twin sisters (Francesca and Jovanna) and 2 younger siblings: a sister (actress Deborah Scorsone) and a brother. Caterina's younger sister Deborah is perhaps best known for her lead role, Lucy Dark, in the 1995 "Goosebumps" episode "The Girl Who Cried Monster", her sole acting credit. Her older sister, actress Francesca Scorsone (b. 1977), is currently serving as a chaplain in the Canadian Forces, holding the rank of major.

She attended the Cardinal Carter Academy for the Arts in Toronto where she starred in "Oklahoma!" and several other productions, as well as alternative school Subway Academy II. In addition, she attended Trinity College in the University of Toronto and in 2005 finished her studies there, earning a degree in postmodern theory.

Her first TV appearances were regular guest spots as a child on the Canadian children's TV show Mr. Dressup starting at age eight.

In 1998, she had a role in one of CBC radio's "Mystery Project" shows called, "Peggy Delaney". Caterina played the estranged fifteen-year-old daughter, Amber, who comes from Vancouver to stay with her mom for a school term in Toronto.

The series where Caterina had her worldwide breakthrough was "1-800-Missing" (now simply called "Missing"). She played the part of Jess Mastriani, a young woman who sees missing persons in visions. After Jess saved some missing persons, she joined the FBI, where a special squad was formed around her, to find missing persons.

In 2009, Scorsone starred as Alice Hamilton on the Syfy TV miniseries "Alice".

In 2010, she joined "Private Practice" in a recurring role of Amelia, the sister of Derek Shepherd from "Grey's Anatomy". She was cast after Eric Stoltz, who was directing one of the show's episodes, heard about the role of Amelia and remembered Scorsone from working with her on "My Horrible Year!". He mentioned her to Shonda Rhimes and commented on the resemblance Scorsone had to Patrick Dempsey (the actor who plays Derek Shepherd).

As of July 2010, Caterina has been promoted to series regular for "Private Practice". She appeared in the third episode of the seventh season of "Grey's Anatomy" where she and Derek started to reconcile their differences. ... (more)
