Jorja-An Fox (born July 7, 1968) 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. She is
most notable for her role as Sara Sidle, in the popular
American crime drama television series CSI: Crime Scene
Investigation.
A dedicated 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.
Biography: Jorja Fox was born in New York City,
the youngest child of Montreal-born parents, and was
raised on a narrow barrier island in Melbourne Beach,
Florida. 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.
Fox is the co-founder of Honeypot Productions, an
independent avant-garde theatre company in Los Angeles.
The theater 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
that 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 co-workers. It was also
reported that of the two, Fox was approached first to
resume her contract with CSI - but she refused until
Eads was rehired as well.
On April 18, 2007, TV Guide began reporting that Jorja
Fox may not be returning for the eighth season of CSI
having not yet signed a new contract. The season finale
turned out 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 those ongoing
issues. Neither CBS nor Jorja's agent have confirmed the
allegations. |
