about
Jorja-An Fox (born July 7, 1968 in New York, New York) is an American actress, best known for her role as Sara Sidle on the hit crime drama CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. Her name is pronounced like "Georgia". 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 television series, ER, as a recurring character (originally billed as "Jorjan Fox"), the no-nonsense medical intern Maggie Doyle. This character was eventually revealed to be a lesbian; playing up that fame, Fox appeared (uncredited) 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. A dedicated vegetarian, she has worked with PETA to help promote vegetarianism. The admittedly squeamish Fox stars on the popular American crime drama television series CSI: Crime Scene Investigation as the troubled investigator Sara Sidle (who is a vegetarian too). Fox resides in Los Angeles. Fox
