Sherri Shepherd
For the next five years, Sherri typed legal documents by day and was a struggling standup comedienne at night. Sherri got her first break on the comedy Cleghorne!. Unfortunately, when the series was cancelled after one year, Sherri had to resume her life in the legal office. Two years later she decided to take the plunge and pursue acting and standup work full-time. She landed guest-starring roles on Friends, Living Single and Suddenly Susan, on which she later became a series regular in 1999. She also was a recurring member of The Jamie Foxx Show as Sheila, from 1998-2000, and is still remembered for her recurring role as Sgt. Judy Potter, the opinionated cop, on Everybody Loves Raymond. Most recently she starred in the television series Emeril and My Adventures in Television. In her spare time Sherri enjoys playing an intense game of Taboo, karaoke singing, skiing, skating, church activities, watching gymnastics and helping her friends as their "designated babysitter." She recently married actor and comic Jeff T., and they reside in Los Angeles with their two retrievers, Angel and Shatzi. | ||||||||
