Shiri Freda Appleby (born December 7,
1978) is an American actress. She is perhaps best known
for her leading role as Liz Parker in the Roswell
television series.
Early life: Appleby was born in Los Angeles,
California. She and her younger brother, Evan, were
raised in the San Fernando Valley (northwest of downtown
Los Angeles, over the Hollywood Hills, in Los Angeles
County). Her father, Jerry Appleby, is a
telecommunications executive and her mother, Dina
Bouader, is an Israeli-born school Hebrew teacher of
Sephardic Jewish background.
In Hebrew, "Shiri" means either "my
song" or simply "sing". Appleby has brown
eyes, brown hair and is around 5'3" tall. She has a
scar above her left eyebrow, resulting 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 (Calabasas,
California) in 1997 and went on to major in English
literature at the University of Southern California
while also studying theater arts. She is known for her
work in the community and active participation in
charity events.
She once dated Linkin Park drummer Rob Bourdon, with
whom she attended the same high school. In June 2007,
she began dating Zach Braff.
Career: 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 role of Liz
Parker. She has also had minor roles in a significant
number of movies before Roswell. On 7th Heaven, she
played a gang member who hid weapons underneath her
little brother's mattress.
Appleby was in Bon Jovi's music video "It's My
Life" with Will Estes. She was also featured in the
2004 music video for the song "I Don't Want To
Be" by Gavin DeGraw, opposite Scott Mechlowicz. She
also appeared in Sense Field's music video "Save
Yourself" which is part of the Roswell soundtrack
and featured in the first season DVD boxset.
As of 2006, Shiri could be seen in a recurring role on
the now cancelled ABC drama Six Degrees as Anya, a young
assistant in a relationship with a much older
photographer. |
