Danielle Nicolet
- Actress

Raised in a working-class Ohio town, Danielle Nicolet moved with her
family to southern California to train in gymnastics. She competed
through her teenage years, but finally admitted that acting was her
dream. She has always played unpredictable characters, whether they be
dramatic or comedic. Early on she appeared most notably in National
Lampoon's Loaded Weapon 1 (1993),
The Jacksons: An American Dream (1992),
Where Truth Lies (1996),
Shadow of Doubt (1998) and
Race (1998). She spent six
seasons as "Caryn" on the Emmy-winning sitcom
3rd Rock from the Sun (1996),
and has since established herself as a truly versatile and engaging
star. In 2005 Entertainment Weekly named her "the breakout star of the
network" for her turn on the sitcom
Second Time Around (2004).
She has since twice been deemed "favorite character to watch" for her
work as the cross-bearing head of the ICU on the TNT hospital drama,
Heartland (2007) and as the
insecure and oversexed pal of
Debra Messing and
Judy Davis on the USA Network series
The Starter Wife (2008).
Danielle has also appeared in the films
Ticking Clock (2011),
Alpha Males Experiment (2009) and
Rocker (2006).
