Lisa Edelstein began her professional acting career while studying theater at N.Y.U.'s Tisch School of the Arts. After performing in a wide range of productions off and on Broadway, Lisa authored, composed and performed the AIDS-related musical "Positive Me" at Ellen Stuart's La Mama, in Manhattan. It was one of the earliest AIDS-related theater productions.

In feature films, Lisa is probably best remembered as Ben Stiller's aerobics-obsessed date in "Keeping the Faith," directed by Edward Norton. Additional feature film credits include Mel Gibson's "What Women Want," "As Good As It Gets," "Mrs. Harris," "Fathers and Sons," "Susan's Plan," "I'm Losing You," and "Daddy Day Care" She is also in the upcoming films: "Say Uncle" (formerly known as "Donut Hole") opposite Peter Paige and Kathy Najimy; and "Grilled" with Ray Romano and Kevin James.

Lisa gained her first television experience as a host of the cable series "Awake on the Wild Side." In the last several years she has fearlessly taken on a wide variety of roles for television. She played a call-girl girlfriend on "The West Wing," David Conrad's lesbian sister on "Relativity", the transsexual boyfriend of James LeGros on "Ally McBeal" and an Orthodox Jewish woman losing custody of her child on "Family Law." Most recently she played James Spader's love interest on "The Practice." Additional television credits include a series regular role on "Leap of Faith" and roles on "Felicity", "Seinfeld" and "Sports Night." She guest-starred on such shows as "Without A Trace," "Frasier" "Presidio Med," "ER" , "Mad About You." and "Just Shoot Me!".
