Andrea got her break in television playing a nurse on the award-winning
Seinfeld episode
The Contest in 1992. After that first speaking role, she had several other guest-starring roles in television series and movies, most notably a recurring role in
ER as Linda Farrell, the love-interest of Dr. Doug Ross, the character played by
George Clooney and as Lieutenant Caitlin Pike in
JAG. She also did several pilots before she gained a cult-following for her role as Miss Parker on the NBC television series The Pretender.
