Niecy Nash Dancing with the Stars 2010 Niecy Nash Reno 911! Niecy Nash Do Not Disturb Niecy Nash Pictures
Niecy Nash from "Dancing with the Stars" is one of the celebrities featured in Season 10 of the ABC reality ballroom dance competition. Niecy Nash teams up with professional dancer Louis van Amstel, who returns for his sixth season.

Niecy Nash also stars as Deputy Raineesha Williams on Comedy Central's "Reno 911!" In addition, Niecy Nash starred as Rhonda in FOX's "Do Not Disturb."

Niecy Nash was sitting in her grandmother's living room at the tender age of five when she first witnessed an elegant black actress grace her television screen. From the sight of the luminous Lola Falana, Niecy Nash decided "That's what I'm gonna' do… be fabulous and be on TV!" And that is exactly what Niecy Nash has done, picking up the nickname "Lola" along the way!

Niecy Nash is living out the dream of every Hollywood actress; starring in TV successful TV projects at the same time. Niecy Nash is the host of The Style Network's home makeover show, "Clean House," which has become the network's #1 rated program. In addition, Niecy Nash stars as no-nonsense Officer Raineesha Williams on the hilarious Comedy Central hit, "Reno 911!," a half-hour unscripted spoof of "Cops." Niecy Nash's style, humor and quick wit have garnered the opportunity for her to be named the newest Correspondent on NBC's "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno."

Though born and raised in Los Angeles, Niecy Nash has never considered herself an "L.A. girl." Niecy Nash is too honest and real for that stereotype. After spending much of her childhood in St. Louis, Niecy Nash returned to Los Angeles at the age of eight, with her future already determined and the quest to become a performer dominating her life.

Niecy Nash completed her education at California State University Dominguez Hills, where she majored in theater. Niecy Nash graduated with a B.A., a husband, a baby… and a mission! Determined to make a name for herself, Niecy Nash made the fateful decision to call a casting director she had auditioned for months earlier. When he answered the phone she said, "I don't know if you remember me. I'm Niecy Nash, I'm broke, I've got a baby, and I need a job." He told Niecy Nash to come down to his office and audition for his new movie. Needless to say, Niecy Nash blew him away and landed her first paid acting gig in a scene opposite Whoopi Goldberg in the feature film, "Boys On the Side."

Since that significant day, Niecy Nash has turned in stunning performances in several feature films. Niecy Nash's credits include Robert Altman's "Cookie's Fortune," opposite Glenn Close, Julianne Moore and Liv Tyler; "The Bachelor" with Chris O'Donnell; and "Malibu's Most Wanted," alongside Jamie Kennedy, Anthony Anderson and Taye Diggs. Niecy Nash was recently featured in the feature films, "Code Name: The Cleaner," opposite Cedric the Entertainer and Lucy Liu, and "Guess Who," opposite Bernie Mac and Ashton Kutcher. Recently, Niecy Nash appeared in the Sony feature film, "Not Easily Broken," based on the best-selling book by Bishop T.D. Jakes. This summer, Niecy Nash co-stars in two Disney projects, "G-Force," produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, and "The Proposal," opposite Sandra Bullock.

Niecy Nash's style, humor and quick wit garnered her a stint as a correspondent on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno." Additional television credits include a recurring role on "The Bernie Mac Show" as "Benita," the uproarious baby sister. Other roles include "Presidio Med," "That's Life," "Popular" and "City of Angels." Niecy Nash has had guest-starring roles on "My Name Is Earl," "Monk," "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation," "Girlfriends," "NYPD Blue," "That's So Raven," "One on One," "Judging Amy" and "Reba."

Niecy Nash made her animated series debut on "Kid Notorious" and was lauded for her voice work as "Tollie Mae" on the series. Niecy Nash has gone on to lend her distinctive voice to characters on the animated series "The Boondocks" and "Minoriteam," and recently starred as the voice of "Mrs. Boots" on the animated series "Slacker Cats." Niecy Nash also voices the character of "Miss Yelp" in the animated feature "Horton Hears a Who" with Jim Carrey and Steve Carrell.

In 2007, Niecy Nash was named a recipient of the National Woman in the Arts Award from the St. Louis Grand Center. Niecy Nash is not only a successful actress, but is also a mother. Her three children have been included in every step of her struggle in show business and have accompanied her on countless auditions and callbacks. Niecy Nash proudly identifies motherhood as her greatest success in life.

Niecy Nash is developing various television and film projects through her own production company, Next In Line.
