Sally Pressman
Despite a family tree full of toy-industry ties, actress Sally Pressman's career was anything but child's play. Born in New York City on August 1, 1981, Pressman (whose grandfather is credited as inventing the G.I. Joe action figure, while her great uncle, Jack Pressman, founded the Pressman Toy Corporation) attended the city's Spence School for girls as a child. After being classically trained in ballet, she then became a member of the Manhattan Ballet Company. Pursuing a love for the stage, she later attended Yale University where she earned a Bachelor of Arts, all the while starring in several theatre productions, including "The Merchant of Venice," "Sylvia," "The Dining Room" and "Freedomland." It was also during this time when she shot her first film role, a bit part in the indie flick "Swordswallowers and Thin Men" (2003). Three years later, her professional career began to take shape, first in the indie horror film "Last Rites of the Dead" (2006) and, later that same year, on the short-lived James Woods vehicle "Shark" (CBS 2006-08). She followed these gigs with a guest spot on "Criminal Minds" (CBS 2005- ). The year 2007 featured her breakout role as Roxy LeBlanc, one of the stars of the drama series "Army Wives" (Lifetime 2007-2013) The show ran for six seasons. In 2010, she married producer/writer/actor David Clayton Rogers. The couple welcomed a son in 2013. Also that year, Pressman began a recurring role as Candace Marcus on the soapy hit "Scandal" (ABC 2012- ).
