Erika's birth announcement began "Presenting: A REAL LIFE DRAMA", unwittingly committing her to a life as an actor. Luckily, the announcement was successfully prophetic, leading to a career on Broadway (Coast of Utopia, Rabbit Hole), Off-Broadway (How I Learned to Drive, The Glory of Living, Electra-In-A-One-Piece), at various regional theaters (Good People, God of Carnage, The Little Dog Laughed), and on television (City On A Hill (SHO), House of Cards (NETFLIX), God Friended Me (CBS), Younger (TVLand), and Law & Order: SVU (NBC)) Erika is an award-winning actress, in both comedy and drama, having won the Kevin Kline Award for Best Actress in The Little Dog Laughed and the Connecticut Critics Circle Award for Best Actress in Good People. Despite her many successes, Erika's proudest moment, was when she listed "ACTOR" on her tax return.
