Laura Silverman

Perhaps best-known as the older sister of actress and comedienne Sarah Silverman, Laura Silverman has built an extensive resume in both television and film. She got her break in TV voicing Laura the Receptionist on the animated series "Dr. Katz, Professional Therapist" in 1995. It wasn't long after her work on "Dr. Katz" that Silverman began to get more roles in feature films. In 1998, she played the part of Jan, Jim Breuer's stoner girlfriend, in the cult comedy "Half Baked." Silverman continued to act in the early 2000s, mainly with guest appearances on TV series like the HBO sitcom "Curb Your Enthusiasm,"the cult vampire series "Angel," and the animated "Home Movies." In 2005 Silverman teamed up with her sister in the full-length film "Sarah Silverman: Jesus is Magic." She shortly followed her performance in the film with a recurring role on the short-lived sitcom "The Comeback," which also starred fellow comedic actress Lisa Kudrow. Silverman worked with her sister again in 2007, on the Comedy Central show "The Sarah Silverman Program." Laura Silverman played Sarah's sister on the Emmy-nominated series, which exhibited not only Sarah's offbeat humor, but also Laura's acting talents, as she served as Sarah's guiding voice of reason.
