Actress Lindsay Price got her start in entertainment at the ripe age of three, appearing in commercials for Toys R’ Us and McDonald’s. From then on, she would make her presence known in film, television and even music, recording her first CD in 2003 ("Someone Like Me"). The vibe of Lindsay’s first album combines the powerful influences of her all-time favorite singer/songwriters like Cat Stevens, Patti Griffin, Van Morrison and Carole King with her love for the cutting edge, textured sounds of trip hop innovators Portishead and the darkly psychedelic Mazzy Star. “Forever Long Friend,” was Lindsay’s first experience writing beyond her own personal life, applying her observations of others into a story about two friends who were once lovers in a past life. But despite a busy career, Lindsay hasn’t harnessed the fame one would expect for someone with such a lengthy resume.
 
She was born on December 6, 1976 in Arcadia, California into a racially mixed family: her father was German-Irish and her mother was a Korean émigré. Interestingly, Price’s mother was her dad’s adopted sister. At 14, Price attended the Professional Children’s School in New York, which boasts of such luminaries as Sidney Lumet, Ricki Lake and Yo-Yo Ma. It was at this time that Price got her breakthrough role as the teen-aged vixen, An Li, on ABC’s daytime drama, “All My Children” (1991-93). Price also was on prime time television, making appearances on “Life Goes On” (1991) and “Parker Lewis Can't Lose” (1991).
 
After her stint on “All My Children”, Price landed another recurring gig as Michael Lai, the successful career girl on the CBS daytime soap, “The Bold and the Beautiful” (1995-97). Price then made the leap from daytime to a prime time soap with her regular role Janet Sosna on the long-running “Beverly Hills, 90210” (1998-2000) as Janet Sosna, later Janet Sosna-Sanders. Though her role started during the show’s last two seasons, Lindsay made an immediate impact with audiences. More appearances on popular prime time shows followed: as Emily on the WB’s short-lived “Jack & Jill” (2000-01); as Sharon Weizak the USA Network’s “The Dead Zone” (where she met her ex husband, producer Shawn Piller); and a three episode stint as Amanda on CBS’s “Becker” (2001-03).
  
Lindsay didn’t limit herself to television. Though her feature debut was in the kid’s flick, “Purple People Eater” (1988), the actress didn’t appear in another film until “One Hundred Percent” (1998), an indie never-was directed by Eric Koyanagi. After this she had a prominent role in the barely released “No Turning Back” (2001), the story of an illegal immigrant who accidentally runs over a child and goes on the run with his daughter. In 2004 she appeared in the comedy feature "Broken Lizard's Club Dread" with Brittany Daniel.
   
Lindsay returned to her bread and butter, television. As the bisexual, living-in-her-own-world Jane on the NBC sitcom, “Coupling” (2003), a raunchy sitcom that boasts of its non-stop barrage of sex-laden jokes and innuendo, Price has positioned herself to become the star she worked her whole life to be. Then she was starring in the series with Rebecca Romjin’s WB show “Pepper Dennis” (2006) as Kimmy Kim. She is also playing a bar singer and singing one of her own songs in “Cosmic Radio” (2007) the indie film starring Darryl Hannah, and will have several other tracks featured on the soundtrack. 
 
Lindsay currently starring on NBC's 2008 mid-season series, Lipstick Jungle as Victory Ford who's a free-spirited designer and she's hopeful that her dreams would come true and that she'd find the perfect partner for her along the way.
