Biography

Steady working character actor Amy Aquino has a knack for playing tough, maternal supporting roles. With an impressive history involving Harvard, Yale, Broadway, and repertory theater, she settled down in what could be termed "repertory television." A brief start in films during the late '80s saw small parts in Moonstruck and Working Girl, followed by success on the small screen. In addition to reoccurring roles on Law & Order, Ally McBeal, The Larry Sanders Show, and numerous others, she was a cast member on Picket Fences and the short-lived but well-loved CBS series Brooklyn Bridge. Soon after its cancellation she joined the Screen Actor's Guild board, married a stage carpenter, and played OB/GYN Dr. Janet Coburn on ER. Other choice roles followed, including the therapist Dr. Toni Pavone on Felicity and guest appearances on Judging Amy, Freaks & Geeks, and Zoe, Duncan, Jack & Jane. Though she had small roles in a few films after that (White Oleander, Undisputed, The Singing Detective), she maintained a strong television presence, appearing on the highly rated shows Everybody Loves Raymond, Curb Your Enthusiasm, and Crossing Jordan. ~ Andrea LeVasseur, All Movie Guide
