Who is Lindsay Sloane?

Lindsay Sloane is a thirty-three year-old actress who has been in the business for about twenty years. Her debut performance was as the voice of "Big Sister" in the Peanuts special Why, Charlie Brown, Why?. She played numerous small parts after that, until landing a recurring role as "Valerie Birkhead" on Sabrina, The Teenage Witch. Another big role came as "Big Red" in the original Bring It On! movie. She starred on the short-lived series Grosse Pointe and had relatively large roles in movies such as The In-Laws and She's Out of My League.

Sloane is set to make it big in her latest movie role, opposite superstars Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg, in The Other Guys. The comedy is about two bumbling detectives who are considered to be "the other guys," sitting at their desks all day while the two superstar cops get all the glory. One day, a case that no one else wants falls into their laps, giving them a chance to possibly shine. Sloane plays Wahlberg's girlfriend, Francine. Wahlberg's character, Hoitz, obsesses over her and stalks her until he is distracted by this case.

Sloane has also been getting attention for a minor physical change that she made for an upcoming film, Horrible Bosses. Naturally a brunette, Sloane dyed her hair blonde, and has been getting more attention. Unfortunately, it isn't the kind of attention she is used to, and she finds these older men's advances to be a little creepy.

Horrible Bosses is shaping up to be a relatively big picture, as Sloane has many big-time co-stars in this picture, including Jennifer Aniston, Jason Bateman, Colin Farrell, Julie Bowen, Kevin Spacey, Jamie Foxx, and Donald Sutherland.

Fans of the Late, Late Show with Craig Ferguson got an unintentional laugh thanks to Sloane, when she was recently on to promote The Other Guys. When referring to the voluminous hairstyle of Snooki on Jersey Shore, she said that she, too could rock the "poof." Ferguson paused, as he is Scottish, and in Great Britain, "poof" is a derogatory slang word for a homosexual. Sloane quickly realized what had happened and explained her comment to him.

Memorable late night goofs and big roles with some big stars will keep propelling this young actress forward in Hollywood. Keep watching for her, whether a redhead, brunette, or bombshell blonde.
