[edit] Biography
[edit] Personal life
Raver was raised in New York City. From the ages of six to nine, she had a regular role on the seminal children's television series Sesame Street. After Sesame Street, the young actress joined Off-Off-Broadway's first all-children's theater. A fine arts graduate of Boston University, Raver continues to study theater in New York with teacher and mentor Wynn Handman. She is fluent in French and German, a language that she learned as a child from her German-born mother.
Together with husband Manuel Boyer she has two sons, Luke (b. 2002) and Leo (b. 2007). Leo Kipling Boyer was born on October 9, 2007, in New York City where Raver is filming her new show, Lipstick Jungle.[1]
Just weeks after giving birth to her second son, Raver was back on set of Lipstick Jungle, but not without a few challenges. Struggling between the stressful work environment and taking care of a newborn, Raver was able to combat it all: lose pregnancy weight, get back into shape and above all, spend quality time with her newborn child. In a Cookie interview, Raver reminds mothers "to love the body you're in after having a baby. You're not sleeping. You're juggling one, two, or three kids. If it's emotionally satisfying at three or four in the morning, when the baby won't go back to sleep, have a piece of chocolate! While you nurture your baby, it's important to nurture yourself."[2]
[edit] Career
At the beginning of her adult career, Raver acted in commercials for Visa and Jeep. Her big break came with her Broadway debut in the play "Holiday" in which she co-starred with Laura Linney and Tony Goldwyn. She also appeared in the feature film City Hall with Al Pacino. She also co-starred with John Spencer (of NBC's The West Wing) and David Schwimmer in "The Glimmer Brothers", a production of the Williamstown Theatre Festival, written by Warren Leight. After her time on Third Watch, she was cast as Audrey Raines in the popular television series 24, and was a series regular for two seasons.
During the Fall 2006 television season, Raver starred in the ABC television series The Nine. Although the show received outstanding pre-season ratings, it did not take off, and was therefore cancelled. She reprised her role in 24's season 6 as Audrey Raines. Although Audrey Raines was presumed to have been killed, it was later revealed that she is still alive and was being held captive by the Chinese. The character was in a comatose state at the end of the season. Raver currently stars in the new television series Lipstick Jungle on NBC.
The 1997 TV movie Soul Mates, starring Raver, is shown by market researchers at Television Preview.
