jorja fox
born January 22, 1965
Jorja-An Fox
born July 7, 1968 in New York, New York is an American actress.
Her name is pronounced
like Georgia. She is most often credited as Jorja Fox, but has also been credited
as Jorjan Fox, most notable for her role as Sara Sidle, in the popular American
crime drama television series CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. A vegetarian, she
has worked with PETA to help promote vegetarianism. Fox resides in Los Angeles
with her dog Ali and two cats, Rumplestiltskin and Sid Poitier. In 2003, she was
ranked 80 in Stuff Magazine's list of the 103 sexiest women. Her appearance is
notable for having a diastema.
Jorja Fox was raised on a narrow barrier
island in Melbourne Beach, Florida, the youngest child of Montreal born parents.
After attending Melbourne High School for two years, she won a modeling contest
and moved to her birthplace of New York to pursue an acting career. Enjoying moderate
success for independent films, Fox entered the limelight in 1996 when she appeared
on the hit NBC tv series, ER, as a recurring character (originally billed "Jorjan
Fox"), the no nonsense medical intern Maggie Doyle. This character was eventually
revealed to be a lesbian; playing up that fame, Fox appeared on the coming out
episode of Ellen ("The Puppy Episode Part 2", 30 April 1997).
Fox went on to film the movies Velocity Trap and Food for the Heart. In 1999, she was cast as the recurring character of the Secret Service Agent Gina Toscano on NBC's series The West Wing. Fox also appeared briefly in the movie Memento, which starred Guy Pearce and Carrie-Anne Moss.
Fox is the co founder of Honeypot Productions, an independent avant garde theatre company in Los Angeles. The theatre company has produced five original productions and she has starred in four, written three, and directed one of them. Friend and HoneyPot co founder Heather Reid wrote Dear Bernard, which Fox helped produce. Emily Procter, one of Jorja's friends and a co star in Forever Fabulous, calls her 'Horha', how Jorja would be pronounced in Spanish, as a nickname.
Fox is also a musician: she plays guitar (badly, she says) and recently purchased a drum kit. She also sings and writes songs, most notably the song "Lullabye" for the movie Traveling Companion, as well as the song Satellite which she published on her official web site.
An avid vegetarian, Jorja Fox has done work for the PETA.
She and CSI co star George Eads received some bad publicity in 2004 when they were fired. Fox had allegedly failed to submit a letter to CBS confirming she would be on time for shooting. The disputes were resolved in just over a week, and the two were rehired by CBS; however, neither actor's salary was raised like the rest of their workers. It was also reported of the two, Fox was approached first to resume her contract with CSI, but she refused until Eads was rehired as well.
On April 17, 2007, TV Guide began reporting that Jorja Fox would not be returning for a eighth season of CSI due to contract issues. The season finale is reported to be a cliffhanger involving her character, Sara Sidle. The New York Post reported that Jorja didn't show up to film the finale because of ongoing issues.
