Biography
Though eagle-eyed television viewers are likely to recognize actress/comedienne Siobhan Fallon from her early '90s stint on
Saturday Night Live or her role as Elaine's roommate on
Seinfeld, the talented performer has essayed numerous small but memorable roles in such Hollywood blockbusters as
Forrest Gump (1994),
Men in Black (1997), and
Daddy Day Care (2003). Born in Syracuse, NY, in 1972, Fallon attended the Catholic University of America before training with the prestigious off-Broadway Atlantic Theater Company. After making her television debut in an episode of
The Golden Girls, Fallon would continue on with numerous small screen roles before moving into feature territory with the 1994 comedy
Greedy. Numerous mid-'90s films such as
Jury Duty (1995) and
Striptease (1996) proved Fallon was always dependable for a laugh, utilizing her to maximum comic effect before the actress began to gravitate toward more dramatic roles during the millennial changeover. Small roles in
The Negotiator (1998) and
Dancer in the Dark (2000) soon began to expose Fallon's notable dramatic talents, and though she would remain in humorous roles for What's the Worst That Could Happen? (2001) and
Big Trouble, directors such as
Lars von Trier would continue to explore her dramatic side in such features as
Dogville (2003). ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
