This alluring Georgia-born actress studied acting in Moscow and appeared in London fringe theater before moving to Hollywood. Although she landed a role on the short-lived drama Legacy almost immediately, Sheridan's career subsequently stalled for a few years. In 2000, a part in the indie film Beat introduced her to the big screen---and to actor Ron Livingston, who would later become her fiancé for a time. A few years later, Sheridan landed a lead role on the ABC show Invasion, playing a pregnant, alien-plagued reporter. Though that sci-fi series lasted only one season, Sheridan has since kept herself on the Hollywood map with guest appearances on a number of popular crime dramas, including CSI: Miami, The Mentalist and NCIS.
