Fitness fans will recall 5-foot-3 live wire Natalie Raitano as host of the series Hip Hop Body Shop which ran on cable's ESPN2 three years ago. The talented singer and dancer brings that same hip-hop energy to the role of Nikki, the weapons and explosives specialist on the action series V.I.P. A one-hour series blending action and humor amidst the glamour and fast-paced life of Hollywood, Beverly Hills and trendy Los Angeles.

Born and raised in Charleroi, a small town south of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, with a younger brother and sister, Raitano had the opportunity at a young age to study gymnastics, skiing, dancing, singing and the piano.
