Biography:
Merrin
Dungey (pronounced DUN-JEE) has been performing all her life. She
started at the age of four with ballet and danced all the way into
her teens. She performed in piano recitals throughout her childhood
and also competed as an ice skater.
Aside from the occasional school musical, Merrin didn't really start
acting until she was 18 years old and hosted a local teen talk show.
That opportunity lead to several commercials, but she put everything
on hold when she was accepted to UCLA.
As a sophomore Merrin became the youngest person to ever win the
UCLA School of Theater's top acting prize at their Annual Acting
Awards ceremony. After graduation she continued to hone her skills,
studying with Milton Katselas who helped her develop her one-woman
show, "Black Like Who?," for the HBO Comedy Workspace.
Due to the overwhelming success of that show, Merrin signed with
the William Morris Agency. Since then she has guest starred on numerous
television series, including "Friends," "Seinfeld," "Murphy Brown,"
"City of Angels" and "ER", and has had recurring roles on "Malcolm
in the Middle" and "The King of Queens." As a stand-up comic she
has performed in the Montreal Comedy Festival and on "Premium Blend,"
for Comedy Central. She also appeared in the film "EdTV," directed
by Ron Howard.
Merrin resides in Los Angeles.
