Jorja Fox

Jorja Fox has become a familiar face by playing major roles in three of the most successful television dramas in history: "ER" (1994), "The West Wing" (1999) and "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation" (2000). Sara Sidle, the character Ms. Fox played on CSI, was a regular on the show from its debut until 2008. She later revived the role of Sara in 2009 and has appeared on the show regularly and is currently playing the role in Season 11.

As a teenager, Fox had a career as a fashion model. She then turned to formal study of the acting craft at the Lee Strasberg Institute in New York, specifically under the tutelage of veteran actor William Hickey.

Fox got her big break in 1996 by landing a role in the immensely successful "ER" (1994) TV series. She appeared in 33 episodes as "Dr. Maggie Doyle" who became embroiled in a sexual harassment suit against a powerful hospital administrator. Fox then got a recurring role in the renowned "The West Wing" (1999) TV series where she portrayed a Secret Service agent who was in charge of protecting the President's college-age daughter. She had a key role in that series' cliffhanger episode where the President's entourage comes under gunfire by assassins.

Fox, who now resides in California, is a longtime animal rights advocate. Her pets, adopted from rescue groups in New York City,  included Ali (a female Boxer who passed away very recently) Rumplestiltskin (cat), and Sid Poitier (cat, male, formerly named Sid Vicious).
