African-American supporting actress Nicki Micheaux debuted with guest spots on such series programs as ER and NYPD Blue during the late '90s, and contributed a highly memorable bit part (as the trashy Leshawnette) to the behind-the-scenes alk show spoof Jerry Springer: Ringmaster (1998). In the early 2000s, she took on recurring roles on the popular dramas Six Feet Under, Soul Food, and The Shield, the latter of which cast her in the memorable part of Detective Trish George. In 2005, Micheaux played the supporting role of Phoebe Watson in the Oprah Winfrey-produced Zora Neale Hurston made-for-television adaptation Their Eyes Were Watching God. The next year, Micheaux landed one of the lead roles on the series drama Lincoln Heights, playing Jenn Sutton, the matriarch of a middle-class African-American family. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi LESS
