Tiffani Thiessen

A versatile actress, Tiffani Thiessen has proven her talent from comedy to drama in a variety of film and television roles. From Woody Allen's comedy Hollywood Ending to Beverly Hills 90210, Thiessen's charisma has kept her career moving constantly forward and has gained her the adoration of millions internationally.

Thiessen was recently seen in a nine-episode guest-starring role on NBC's Good Morning Miami. In 2003, she starred the Fox series Fast Lane with Peter Facinelli and Bill Bellamy, directed by McG. She also guest-starred on the NBC hit comedy Just Shoot Me in a three-episode arc, portraying a columnist who becomes romantically involved with David Spade's character, and appeared in a recurring role on the ABC comedy Two Guys and a Girl.

Raised in Long Beach, California, Thiessen began modeling at the age of eight and soon went on to star in the television series Saved By the Bell for five seasons. At the same time, she made her feature film debut in Son In Law, opposite Pauly Shore. In 1993, she showed her range when Aaron Spelling cast her in Beverly Hills 90210, where she portrayed multi-layered 'Valerie Malone' for five seasons.

Her other feature film roles include the comedy Ladies Man, the independent film Speedway Junky, with Jesse Bradford, Jonathan Taylor Thomas and Daryl Hannah, the horror/comedy spoof Shriek! If You Know What I did Last Friday 13th opposite Tom Arnold and many more.

Thiessen has always been fighting for the rights of animals and their welfare, in large part because of her Dad's love of animals when she was a young girl. They both now devote their time to many animal organizations, including the SPCA.

Thiessen has two dogs named Buck and Pearl, two cats named Sadie and Savanna, and a fish named Blue.

Thiessen currently resides in the Los Angeles area.
