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
24s 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. It has not been confirmed whether Raver will reprise the role or not for the seventh season. Raver currently stars in the new television series Lipstick Jungle on NBC.
