Kimberly Jayne Raver was born on March 15, 1969 in New York City. She is an American actress.

After she and her sister were spotted by a casting agent while shopping in a department store, Kim became a regular on the children’s television series “Sesame Street” at the tender age of six years old. She remained with the show until the age of nine.

From “Sesame Street” Kim headed off to join off-Broadway’s first all children’s theatre. Kim later attended Boston University, School for the Arts and received her BFA (1991). Soon after graduating, Kim had her first break in television, appearing in national commercials for Visa and Jeep.

The Broadway production “Holiday”, is credited with being Kim’s big break. The production, which ran from 1995-1996, starred Laura Linney and Tony Goldwyn and received critical raves on Kim’s appearance in the show.

Kim’s career began to flourish after she finished her work in “Holiday”. She guest starred in such shows as “Law and Order”, “The Practice”, “Central Park West”and “Spin City”.
Soon after these guest appearances, Kim landed the role of Clarissa McCallister in the television series "Trinity". Though the show was short lived, Kim was remembered in her role, which opened the door for her next big break.

Kim was asked to join the Warner Bros. television show of "Third Watch", which became a critically acclaimed drama on NBC. Kim played Kim Zambrano, a single mother and New York City paramedic on the demanding 3PM-11PM shift. Kim stayed with the show until the beginning of it's final season in 2004.

Kim didn't stay still for long. During a vacation in the South of France, Kim received a frantic message from her manager that she was needed in Los Angeles right away to audition for the hit FOX television show "24", starring Kiefer Sutherland. Kim made a mad dash to Los Angeles, and after her audition in front of the show's producers was told "We've found our Audrey!". Kim has now completed three successful seasons on the hit show.

Kim then joined ABC's critic's delight, “The Nine”. Though lasting only a few episodes, Kim's character brought many new fans who appreciated her acting. Kim is now moving on to a new type of role, a "dramedy" called "Lipstick Jungle", in which she stars with Brooke Shields and Lindsey Price. The show will debut on NBC in January, 2008.

Always maintaining that New York is her true home, Kim had to relocate to Los Angeles with her husband, French filmaker Manuel Boyer and their young son Luke. She is now able to return home to her roots. "Lipstick Jungle" will be filmed in New York City.
