Justine Miceli

A personable brunette actor with rich brown eyes, Miceli is a native New Yorker who studied acting on both coasts, including stints at the AADA, the California Institute of the Arts, and William Esper Studios. She subsequently did commercials, off-Broadway and touring theater and some spots on daytime dramas and the primetime series "Law & Order." In 1994, Miceli received a big break when she was added onto the cast of regulars for the second season of the hard-hitting and initially controversial ABC police drama, "NYPD Blue." As the dedicated and savvy detective Adrienne Lesniak, Miceli played a character capable of dealing not only with a wide range of offbeat criminal suspects but also a number of jealous snits from fellow police officers.
