Shiri Freda Appleby (born December
7, 1978) is an American film and television actress. She is best known for
her leading role as Liz Parker in the popular television series Roswell.
Her film credits include A Time for Dancing, where she was one of the two
female main characters; Swimfan; Havoc with Anne Hathaway; and Charlie
Wilson's War with Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts.
In 2008, Appleby joined the cast of the final season of ER, playing an
intern named Daria Wade.
Appleby was born in Los Angeles, California, the daughter of Dina (née
Bouader), an Israeli-born Hebrew school teacher, and Jerry Appleby, a
Jewish-American telecommunications executive. She and her younger brother
Evan were raised in Calabasas in Los Angeles County. Her mother is of
Sephardic Moroccan Jewish background. In Hebrew, shiri means either "my
song" or simply "sing." She has a scar above her left eyebrow, which
resulted from a dog bite when she was young. To get over her fear of dogs,
she went on the show Emergency Vets, accompanying staff veterinarian Dr.
Kevin Fitzgerald (she also overcame another phobia in the same episode by
holding a live snake, one of Fitzgerald's patients) and shortly after
adopted a Tabby, which she named Abby.
Appleby graduated from Calabasas High School in 1997 and went on to major
in English literature at the University of Southern California while also
studying theater arts.
Appleby began her acting career at the age of four, starting with
advertising for various products such as Cheerios and M&M's. Her first
advertisement was for Raisin Bran but it was never aired. She has had
guest appearances on many television programs, most notably
thirtysomething (1987), Doogie Howser, M.D. (1989), ER (1994), Baywatch
(1989), Xena: Warrior Princess (1995), 7th Heaven (1996) and Beverly Hills
90210 (1990). For Roswell, she tried out for the roles of both Isabel and
Maria before landing the leading role of Liz Parker. She made a guest
appearance on the 7th Heaven episode "Girls Just Want to Have Fun".
Appleby was in Bon Jovi's music video for "It's My Life" with Will Estes.
She featured in the 2004 music video for the song "I Don't Want To Be" by
Gavin DeGraw, opposite Scott Mechlowicz. She appeared in Sense Field's
music video for "Save Yourself" which is part of the Roswell soundtrack
and featured in the first season DVD boxset.
In 2006 she took a recurring role on the now canceled ABC drama Six
Degrees as Anya, a young assistant in a relationship with a much older
photographer. Later that year she was chosen to play Hildy Young in the
new USA Network series To Love and Die, that began airing in late December
2008. She also participated in a short film called Carjacking directed by
Dan Passman and co-starring Geoff Stults.
In 2007, she appeared in the movie What Love Is alongside Cuba Gooding
Jr., Matthew Lillard and Anne Heche. She also participated in another
short film, Love Like Wind, this one from Shaolin Film Productions. At the
end the year, she appeared as Charlie Wilson's press secretary in the film
Charlie Wilson's War, which stars Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts. In 2008,
Appleby got a recurring role on the final season of ER, playing an intern
named Daria Wade. In 2010, Appleby has appeared in a new drama on The CW
network called Life Unexpected. |
