Best known as the patient wife opposite Larry David in the series Curb Your Enthusiasm, Hines is currently in production on two feature films -- the romantic comedy Cake (alongside Heather Graham) and Our Very Own, with Allison Janney (NBC's The West Wing), Keith Carradine and Jason Ritter. Her other feature film credits include a cameo role in the box office hit comedy Along Came Polly, opposite Jennifer Aniston and Ben Stiller. She also starred last fall opposite Peter Gallagher in the cable feature A Tale of Two Wives, a romantic revenge comedy filmed in London.

As a member of the Groundlings Theater, Hines has spent a great deal of time writing and performing sketch and improvisational comedy. This experience made her feel very at home with the improvised dialogue format on Curb, a role for which she was recently honored with an Emmy nomination for best supporting actress in a comedy series.

Although Hines is often cast in pretty girl roles, anyone who has seen her onstage wearing a wig cap during her ïOne Woman Show' sketch knows that she would rather be funny than pretty. The Los Angeles Times wrote, "And, in her hilarious One Woman Show,' Hines portrays a surreally untalented solo performer at her self-indulgent worst laugh riot for anyone who has ever suffered through the real thing. Variety concurred with their review, stating, Cheryl Hines' One Woman Show offers up five of the funniest minutes in any theater anywhere you will want to watch her onstage for three hours."

A native of Florida, Hines earned her bachelor of arts degree in radio and television before moving to Los Angeles, where she has found success as a television and film actress. Hines' numerous television roles have included memorable appearances on Friends, Everybody Loves Raymond Suddenly Susan, The Wayans Brothers and Oh, Baby. She starred in the independent feature film Cheap Curry and Calculus and has had principal roles in many live theater productions. Although many fans have revered Hines' dramatic performances in Unsolved Mysteries and Swamp Thing, she modestly dismisses the roles.
