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. 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.
