Lisa Ann Walter

LISA ANN WALTER is best known for her stand-out performances in feature films such as „Chessy‟ in THE PARENT TRAP and „Bobbie‟ in SHALL WE DANCE, opposite Richard Gere. Other favorite features include working with Jim Carrey and Jennifer Aniston in BRUCE ALMIGHTY as well as Tom Cruise in Steven Spielberg's WAR OF THE WORLDS.

Walter's independent feature career includes garnering four Festival Best Actress awards for playing the title character in THE TROUBLE WITH DEE DEE co-starring Kurtwood Smith.

She is the proud creator, executive producer and returning judge of the second season of Oxygen's hit dance/weight loss competition series “Dance Your Ass Off,” airing or being produced in 28 countries.

She also executive produced and appeared in the “All-Chick Stand-up Extravaganza – The Naughty Show' and co-created, produced and directed the original stunting series “Gonzo Girlz.”

Walter graduated from The Catholic University of America with a B.F.A. in classical theater and acted in repertory, regional and Off-Broadway theater before continuing her career as a nationally touring stand-up comic. Her comedic voice of a multi-tasking young mom led to offers from Hollywood. She co-created, produced and starred in several sitcoms, including Fox's “My Wildest Dreams” and ABC's “Life's Work.”

She enjoyed being a frequent trouble-maker on Bill Maher's “Politically Incorrect” and guest-starring on “Nip/Tuck.”

Walter happily donates her writing, performing, and hostess abilities to such high-profile charity performance events such as “What A Pair” - an evening of female duets benefiting the John Wayne Cancer Institute's Breast Cancer Research. She also enjoys gourmet cooking, all forms of dancing and heated trivia contests with her mother while watching “Jeopardy.” She is most proud of her four beautiful children, Jordan, Delia and twins Simon and Spencer. And the fact that her stomach is still reasonably flat after being the clown car they all came out of.
