Biography |
Kimberly Jayne Raver (born March 15, 1969) is an American
actress. She is known for her roles as Kim Zambrano on the
TV show Third Watch and Audrey Raines on 24.
Raver was born and raised in New York City. From the ages of
six to nine, she had a regular role on the seminal
children's television series Sesame Street. After Sesame
Street, the young actress joined Off-Off-Broadway's first
all-children's theater. A fine arts graduate of Boston
University, Raver continues to study theater in New York
with teacher and mentor Wynn Handman. She is fluent in
French and German, a language that she learned as a child
from her German-born mother.
At the beginning of her adult career, Raver acted in
commercials for Visa and Jeep. Her big break came with her
Broadway debut in the play "Holiday" in which she co-starred
with Laura Linney and Tony Goldwyn. She also appeared in the
feature film City Hall with Al Pacino. She also co-starred
with John Spencer (of NBC's The West Wing) and David
Schwimmer in "The Glimmer Brothers", a production of the
Williamstown Theatre Festival, written by Warren Leight.
During the Fall 2006 television season, Raver starred in the
ABC television series The Nine. Although the show recieved
outstanding pre-season ratings, it did not take off, and was
therefore cancelled. Although there was talk that she would
not reprise her role as Audrey Raines for 24's sixth season,
due to the cancellation of her new show, it is likely she
will continue on as Jack Bauer's love interest, Ms. Audrey
Raines.
Her husband's name is Manuel Boyer and they have one son. |
