Pauley Perrette Bio

As forensic specialist Abby Sciuto in the TV show NCIS, or as lead singer for the all-girl punk band Lo-Ball, Pauley Perrette has stage presence. Despite her image as an offbeat, progressive innovator, she brings talent and intelligence to every role.

Pauley Perette was raised in the south. Born in New Orleans, on March 27th, 1969 and reared in Alabama, North and South Carolina, Tennessee, Alabama, and Georgia, she attended school at Georgia State where she studied - of all things - to be a criminologist. The Pauley Perrette Bio is impressive and varied.

Pauley moved at least fourteen times when she was little. When she took classes in Georgia State, her emphasis was criminology, psychology and sociology. She pursued a masters Degree as well but was unable to complete it before she moved to New York City.

Once in New York, Pauley worked for a while as a mixologist (bartender). By then she was already finding work in commercials and in some music videos.

Early TV acting roles included Murder One, and playing Drew Carey's wife on the Drew Carey Show. Early films include The Price of Kissing and Angel (both are independent films) and The Cowboy Way and Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion.

In addition to acting, directing and producing, Pauley Perrete sings (she had an all girl punk band Lo-Ball). and she is active in socially progressive causes.

Pauley began making commercials when she moved to New York, and her voice and image are very familiar now to American TV viewers. Among the companies she has been featured in are:

• Sprint
• VW
• Ocean Spray
• New Orleans
• Starbucks
• The Royal Carribean Cruise Line
• Expedia
• CBS Cares (mentoring and celiac disease)
