Jorja-An Fox (born July 7, 1968, in New York City, New York), is an American actress, musician and songwriter. This was followed by another critical success in the recurring role of Secret Service Agent Gina Toscano on The West Wing in 2000. She is arguably best known for her work as Sara Sidle in the hit CBS crime drama CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, a role she has portrayed as both a regular (2000-2007, 2011-) and recurring (2008-2011) cast member. Fox is the younger of two children born to Montreal-born parents of French and Irish descent, and was raised on a narrow barrier island in Melbourne Beach, Florida. Fox appeared in “The Puppy Episode Part 2″, the April 30, 1997 episode of the sitcom Ellen, in which that show’s main character came out as gay. Fox had allegedly failed to submit a letter to CBS confirming that she would be on time for shooting. The disputes were resolved in just over a week, and the two were rehired by CBS; however, neither actor’s salary was raised, in spite of other cast members receiving raises. The season finale turned out to be a cliffhanger involving her character, Sara Sidle.
