Teri Polo

Teri Polo

Highest Rated: 85% Meet the Parents (2000)

Lowest Rated: 0% The Ravine (2021)

Birthday: Jun 1, 1969

Birthplace: Dover, Delaware, USA

Trained in dance, Teri Polo made the move to acting in the late 1980s. She has worked consistently in film and television since her debut, but didn't hit it big until her co-starring role in the 2000 blockbuster comedy "Meet the Parents." Beginning her ballet career at age six, Polo headed to NYC in her teens to pursue education and work in dance and ended an actress, counting among her early credits a 1987 stint on the ABC daytime drama "Loving" and a regular role on the CBS drama "TV 101" (1988-89). In 1990 the new actress performed opposite screen legend Burt Lancaster in the NBC miniseries adaptation "Phantom of the Opera," before making her feature debut in "Born to Ride" the following year.
