Belknap was born in Damariscotta, Maine. She is a daughter to David and Louise Belknap and sister to Jordan and Christopher Belknap. She graduated from Lincoln Academy in Newcastle, Maine, received her B.A. from Middlebury College in Vermont, and a Masters in Acting from the American Conservatory Theater.[1]
Belknap is married to Eric Siegel, a colleague from the Rude Mechanicals Theater Company in New York.[2] They have two children, a daughter named Olive (born January 14, 2007), and a son named George (born February 6, 2009).[1]
During filming for the show CSI: NY, an episode describes her being bitten by a cobra. This event was used to reduce her screen time during her first pregnancy (which, unlike her second one, was not written into the show.) She also left to go home to Montana in an episode to testify in a trial to cut her screen time. Her second pregnancy was written into several episodes of season 5 where her character has a daughter, Lucy, with her on-screen husband Danny Messer.
Belknap's television credits include series regular roles in Medical Investigation and The Handler, a recurring role in Deadline, and guest-starring roles in Law & Order, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, and Without a Trace.
Belknap appeared in the movie Alchemy and made her feature film debut in the independent film The Reality Trap.
Belknap joined the cast of the long-running crime drama CSI: NY as Detective Lindsay Monroe in 2005 during the second season's third episode, "Zoo York".
Her stage credits include the Off-Broadway production of Metamorphoses at New York's Second Stage Theatre, as well as roles at the Mark Taper Forum, the Old Globe Theatre, the Westport Country Playhouse, and the Williamstown Theatre Festival.
Belknap was the recipient of the 2002 San Diego Theater Critics Circle's Craig Noel Award for Outstanding Performance as Marina in the Old Globe Theatre's production of Pericles by William Shakespeare.[3]
