早年經歷
Julie Benz朱莉-本茲出生在一個醫生世家，他的父親是當地著名的外科醫生。但當她小時候他父親讓她看了一部長達六個小時的痔瘡切除手術後，她死也不願意當醫生。除了演員，朱莉還是一個滑冰運動員，她在中學的時候贏得了美國中學生滑冰比賽的第十三名。她以前覺得自己18歲的時候會退出滑冰運動，但實際上她的滑冰生涯還沒到18歲就因為一次很嚴重的骨折結束了。退出滑凍的朱莉開始從事模特行業，因為這份工作她搬到紐約，在紐約學習了表演的她又改行做了演員。
高中畢業後朱莉·本茨進入紐約大學學習表演，畢業後便來到了洛杉磯。1994年她曾在熱門劇《拖家帶口》中客串，之後拍攝過兩部沒得到播出機會的TV pilot。繼續在《Step by Step》、《淘小子看世界》等劇中留下客串的身影並亮相了多部電視電影之後，她在97年參加了Joss Whedon創造的魔幻劇《捉鬼者巴菲》（Bufyy）的女主角試鏡，但最終輸給了莎拉·米歇爾·蓋拉（Sarah Michelle Gellar），朱莉·本茨只得到了一個小角色；即便如此這部成功的CULT經典還是讓她的演藝道路走上了發展正軌，1997年在傑克·尼科爾森的影片《貓屎先生》中得到了一個雖小但值得銘記的角色。1999年她與羅絲·麥高恩一起成功出演了黑色喜劇片《風騷壞姊妹》，之後主演了恐怖片《麻辣搞鬼派》，同時客串過《E星戀》等劇。
2000年朱莉·本茨出演了《巴菲》的衍生劇《天使》（Angel）以及科幻劇《幽浮人種》，並在錄像帶《森林泰山2》(2003)中扮演了Ursula。2005年她出演了受到評論界稱讚的電視影集《拉克萬納布魯斯》，頻頻在《邪惡力量》（SuperNature）、《犯罪現場調查》（CSI）以及《法律與秩序》等熱門劇中亮相，還參與拍攝了瑞典影片《殺了你的寶貝》。2006年開始朱莉·本茨是麥可·豪爾領銜的美劇《嗜血法醫》陣容中的重要一員，這讓她獲得了06年衛星獎的最佳女配角獎。本片帶來的人氣終於幫助她得到了第一部大製作影片中的女主角角色，這就是07年西爾維斯特·史泰龍的《第一滴血4》，看過影片的人都會有這樣的疑問，為何朱莉·本茨這樣的美女會在低成本電視電影和錄像帶當中度過了大部分的青春。接下來我們依然將通過一部動作片中看到她——《懲罰者2》，她的名字也曾和大銀幕版的《朱門恩怨》聯繫在一起過

天生麗質，鏡頭感也很好。在Dexter中的表現比較到位。很遺憾的是似乎她缺少品味，寫真中的扮相普遍感覺很俗。

關注過的電影只有《第一滴血4》，在片中飾演了一位非常具有正義感的女人，為了人道主義的理想而去奮鬥。在片中也淋漓盡致的展現了被俘獲後的恐慌。
