Though she remains best known for her long-running portrayal of Wild West hero Calamity Jane on the HBO period Western Deadwood, classically trained thespian Robin Weigert launched herself to stardom on the theatrical circuit, and had almost ten years of stage work under her belt when she finally moved into filmed roles in Los Angeles. An M.F.A. graduate of NYU's much-revered drama program, Weigert subsequently landed roles in such on- and off-Broadway productions as +The Seagull, +Noises Off, and +Madame Melville. In terms of cinematic and television work, Weigert also gained recognition for her evocation of the Mormon Mother in HBO's Angels in America (which reunited her with +Seagull collaborator Mike_Nichols) and appeared in the Steven_Soderbergh espionage thriller The_Good_German, opposite George_Clooney and Cate_Blanchett. Weigert also guest-starred on episodes of Lost, The_Unit, Cold_Case, and Law & Order: SVU. In 2007, she joined the cast of the cop drama Life as the hardworking Lt. Karen Davis. Nathan Southern, Rovi
