CHERYL HINES (Jamie Munro) stars on HBO’s Golden Globe Award-winning series (2003 Best Comedy Series), “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” the brainchild of Larry David, co-creator of “Seinfeld.” The show, which has been nominated for numerous Emmy Awards, including Best Supporting Actress for Hines and Best Comedy Series, recently completed its fifth season.
Last summer Hines starred opposite Michael Keaton and Lindsay Lohan in Herbie: Fully Loaded. Hines also appears in the independent feature Bickford Schmeckler’s Cool Ideas for writer/director Scott Lew, which premieres at this year’s Aspen Comedy Festival. Hines has completed production on several other features including Lucky 13, an independent family comedy directed by Scott Marshall that also had its debut at the Aspen Comedy Festival in February, 2005.
In addition, Hines co-stars in the romantic comedy Cake with Sandra Oh and Taye Diggs and Our Very Own with Allison Janney, Keith Carradine and Jason Ritter.
Hines has broadened her experience in television to include producing, directing and voice-over. This year, she executive produced and directed an improvised comedy series titled “Campus Ladies” for the Oxygen Channel about two housewives in their 40s who decide to enroll in college and live in the freshman dorms, and she had a lead voice in the animated series “Father of the Pride.”
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 much at home with the improvised dialogue format of “Curb Your Enthusiasm.” Earlier in her career, The Los Angeles Times wrote, “And, in her hilarious ‘One Woman Show,’ Cheryl Hines portrays a surreally untalented solo performer at her self-indulgent worst – a laugh riot for anyone who has ever suffered through the real thing.” Variety concurred, adding “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.”
Hines resides in Los Angeles with her husband Paul and their daughter Catherine Rose.
