Cheryl Hines stars as Jane on ABC's "In the Motherhood."

Cheryl Hines is a two-time Emmy nominee for her role as Cheryl David on HBO's Golden Globe Award-winning series, "Curb Your Enthusiasm," the brainchild of Larry David, co-creator of "Seinfeld." The show's third season was nominated for ten Emmy Awards including Best Supporting Actress for Cheryl Hines and Best Comedy Series (nominated in 2002 as well).

Cheryl Hines is also establishing herself as one of Hollywood's most sought after film actresses with starring roles in a number of critically acclaimed feature films and box office hits. In the summer of 2008 Cheryl Hines was the female lead in the animated comedy "Space Chimps," with "Saturday Night Live's" Andy Samberg, and she co-starred in the Sundance hit, "Henry Poole Was Here," opposite Luke Wilson, Adriana Barraza and Radha Mitchell.

Cheryl Hines has a number of feature films scheduled for release in 2009, including the independent feature "Bart Got a Room," opposite William H. Macy and directed by Brian Hecker, the romantic comedy "Labor Pains," directed by Lara Shapiro and co-starring Lindsay Lohan, Chris Parnell, Luke Kirby and Connie Britton, "Farlanders," directed by Sam Mendes and co-starring John Krasinski and Maya Rudolph, and "The Ugly Truth," directed by Robert Luketic and co-starring opposite Katherine Heigl and Gerard Butler. Cheryl Hines recently completed production on her feature film directorial debut with the indie, "Serious Moonlight," with Meg Ryan and Timothy Hutton, from a screenplay written by the late Adrienne Shelly.

Other memorable film roles for Cheryl Hines include a starring role in the indie comedy "The Grand," co-starring Woody Harrelson, David Cross and Ray Romano, "Waitress," co-starring Keri Russell and the film's writer/director, Adrienne Shelly, and "RV," opposite Robin Williams and directed by Barry Sonnenfeld.

Cheryl Hines starred opposite Peter Gallagher in the cable feature "A Tale of Two Wives," a romantic revenge comedy . Cheryl Hines also had a hilarious role in the John Hamburg film "Along Came Polly," starring Jennifer Aniston and Ben Stiller. Cheryl Hines plays Aniston's snooty boss at a catering company who humiliates Aniston's character to a hilarious effect, just as she meets her love interest, Stiller.

Cheryl Hines has broadened her experience in television to include producing and voice-over. Cheryl Hines was the executive producer on the critically acclaimed improvised and award-winning comedy series, "Campus Ladies," for the Oxygen Channel, and the Starz Network's first original comedy series, "Hollywood Residential."

Cheryl Hines was the female lead voice in DreamWorks Television's NBC primetime animated series "Father of the Pride." A huge fan of Cheryl's from "Curb Your Enthusiasm," DreamWorks President Jeffrey Katzenberg handpicked Cheryl Hines for the role. "Father of the Pride" is a "Shrek"-like primetime CGI cartoon about a family of white lions who work as performers in the Las Vegas act of illusionists Siegfried & Roy. Cheryl Hines plays Kate, wife of John Goodman's character Larry who is the hardworking papa lion.

As a member of the Groundlings Theater, Cheryl Hines has spent a great deal of time writing and performing sketch and improvisational comedy. This experience made her feel right at home with the improvised dialogue format of "Curb Your Enthusiasm."

Although Cheryl Hines is often cast in "pretty girl" roles, anyone who saw her onstage wearing a wig cap during her 'One Woman Show' sketch knows that she would rather be funny than pretty. 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 with their review, stating, "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."

A native of Florida, Cheryl Hines earned her Bachelor's degree in radio and television before moving to Los Angeles, where she has been successfully pursuing a career as an actress. Cheryl Hines' numerous television roles have included memorable appearances on "Friends," "Everybody Loves Raymond" "Suddenly Susan," "The Wayans Brothers" and "Oh, Baby." Cheryl Hines starred in the independent feature film "Cheap Curry and Calculus" and she has had principal roles in many live theater productions. Although many fans have revered Cheryl Hines' dramatic performances in "Unsolved Mysteries" and "Swamp Thing," Cheryl modestly dismisses these roles as "crap."

Cheryl Hines resides in Los Angeles with her husband, Paul, and their daughter, Catherine Rose.
