Early life and education

Sagemiller was born in Washington, D.C. to a political activist mother and a professional American football player father, who played in the NFL for the New York Giants and the Washington Redskins.[1] She attended Georgetown Day School. Her entry into the performing arts was at age 3 when she began studying tap dance, ballet, jazz dance and modern dance. She made her stage debut in To Kill a Mockingbird when she was 9 years old, and soon after she became a regular on her local stage. At 14, however, acting took a backseat to modeling after Sagemiller was scouted by Eileen Ford in a jewelry shop. She eventually left modeling to take an undergraduate degree in Art History at the University of Virginia.

Career

Shortly after graduation, she decided to return to acting full-time, and studied at the Stella Adler Conservatory, New York University's Stonestreet Studio and at Michael Howard Studios.

Sagemiller appeared in Movieline magazine in August 2001.[2] In November 2001, Sagemiller appeared in Gear magazine.[3] Most recently, she portrayed the character Michelle Ernhardt in the TNT series Raising the Bar. After that series was cancelled, Sagemiller joined Law & Order: Special Victims Unit in a recurring role as the ADA. She replaced Paula Patton when Patton departed the series after one episode.

Personal life

Sagemiller became engaged in July 2006 to her Sleeper Cell co-star Alex Nesic after he proposed to her in the South of France. The couple eventually married and have one child.[citation needed]
