Peri Gilpin

Actor · Born May 27, 1961 (65) · Waco, Texas, USA

Peri Gilpin (born Peri Kay Oldham; May 27, 1961) is an American actress best known for her roles as Roz Doyle on the TV series Frasier and Kim Keeler in the ABC Family drama Make It or Break It. She is due to reprise the role of Roz in the upcoming revival of Frasier. From 1993 until 2004, she played Roz Doyle on the sitcom Frasier, a spin-off of Cheers, starring Kelsey Grammer as Frasier Crane, the role he had played on Cheers since 1984. Along with the principal cast, she won a Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series in 1999. In 2009, she appeared in the ABC Family drama Make It or Break It, for which she received a Gracie Award in the category of Outstanding Female Actor in a Supporting Role in a Drama Series. Gilpin and Frasier co-star Jane Leeves ran a production company, Bristol Cities (named from the cockney rhyming slang), whose projects included a Fox network pilot titled Minister of Divine, an American remake of the British sitcom The Vicar of Dibley, with Kirstie Alley (another Cheers regular) in a starring role. She is the voice artist for the character Jane Proudfoot in Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within. She also provided the voices of Desiree in the Nickelodeon animated television series Danny Phantom, Volcana in Superman: The Animated Series and Justice League, Hecate in Hercules: The Animated Series, and Kate Corrigan in the Hellboy animated films. She also did voice work for several Wells Fargo and Johnsonville Meats TV commercials. She had a recurring role in Men at Work on TBS as editor of Full Steam magazine.

Percentiles are each film's standing among all films on MovieCove; the typical film is the median, so one outlier cannot drag it. Percentiles and reviewer scores count the films IMDb credits them on, for now; the Midcredits score bands, the shape of the crowd and the two cards count their MovieCove titles, shows included (a show ranked among shows), appearances as themselves left out. A descriptor is the shape of a title's IMDb rating distribution against the catalog; "most divisive" needs a spread wider than half of all titles, and a card names only a principal credit: a craft role, and on a show a crew role or a run of episodes, never a courtesy credit or a one-off guest spot.
