Constance Zimmer was most recently seen as the recurring character, Dana
Gordon, on HBO's Entourage. Before that she spent the 2nd season recurring as
Sister Lily Waters, on Joan of Arcadia for CBS. If that's not where you
recognize her from, then it could have been her 2 season run in the NBC comedy
series, “Good Morning, Miami,” as the lazy, burned out assistant Penny. Next
season you will beable to see her every week when her midseason show "In
Justice" airs on ABC. She describes her character, Brianna, as a passionate,
committed and competitive undergrad in tight jeans and button downs. Watch for
it in the beginning of the 2006 season.
A native of Seattle, Washington, Zimmer also spent much of her childhood in
Santa Monica and Newport Beach and decided to pursue a career in acting after
she fell in love with the craft as a high school student. Once out of high
school, Zimmer was accepted at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in
Pasadena, and began appearing in local theater. She is also the recipient of a
“Best Actress” Dramalogue Award, for her work on stage in “Catholic School
Girls.”
After paying her dues in a number of notable commercial spots including being
the "Rite Aid" girl for a year and also the unrecognizable daughter in the
plastic "Duracell" commercials, she booked her first TV guest-starring roles on
the hit shows “Seinfeld” and “Ellen.” Working steadily ever since, Zimmer has
appeared in "Jake in Progress", "NYPD Blue", “Philly”, “The X-Files”, “Gideon’s
Crossing”, “Providence”, “The King Of Queens” and “Chicago Hope” to name a few.
She has also had recurring roles on “Joan of Arcadia”, HBO's “Entourage”, “The
Fighting Fitzgeralds,” “The Trouble With Normal,” and the list goes on. Some of
her feature-film credits include the independent films “Home Room,” “Spin
Cycle,” “Warm Blooded Killers,” and “Just Pray (a short, that was just accepted
into the TriBeca film festival).”
When not acting, Zimmer enjoys gardening, photography, supporting charities and
good causes that she can lend her name to, to make a difference . She also
enjoys hiking, having a book club and dreaming of opening her own store.
