Marin Elizabeth Hinkle (born March 23, 1966) is an American actress, known for playing the role of Judith Harper-Melnick, Alan Harper's mean ex-wife on the CBS comedy series Two and a Half Men and her role as Judy Brooks the sister of the lead character Lily Manning on ABC drama Once and Again.
Career
Hinkle started her career on the soap opera Another World. She also portrayed Judy Brooks on ABC's drama series Once and Again from 1999 to 2002.[1]
Hinkle starred on the CBS sitcom Two and a Half Men with Charlie Sheen, Jon Cryer, Angus T. Jones and Ashton Kutcher as Alan's (Cryer) neurotic ex-wife, Judith.[1] Despite being a main cast member, she rarely made appearances in her later seasons on the show. She was quietly phased out of the series, and her last appearances as a regular were in the ninth season of the series. She made a brief cameo appearance in the tenth and current season, though still credited as a regular. This may be due to commitments to her new role as Samantha Bowers in the NBC drama series Deception with Tate Donovan, Victor Garber and Katherine LaNasa.[2]
Hinkle has had several roles in films such as I'm Not Rappaport, Frequency, The Next Big Thing, I Am Sam and Dark Blue.[1] She has also performed on the stage, for example in 2005 as Miss Julie, opposite Reg Rogers, in the 1888 play of that name by August Strindberg (Rattlestick Playwrights Theatre, New York) (see New Yorker, 30 May 2005). Hinkle has also appeared in the thriller genre, starring in the 2008 thrillers Quarantine and The Haunting of Molly Hartley. She has made several guest appearances on different shows such as Spin City, Law & Order: SVU, Without a Trace, ER, House, and twice as different characters on Law & Order.
Personal life
Hinkle was born in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania,[1] the daughter of Margaret R. (Polga) Hinkle, a Justice of the Superior Court of Massachusetts, and Rodney Hinkle, a college dean and teacher who met while serving in the Peace Corps.[3][4] Her family moved to Boston, Massachusetts, when she was four months old. Two years later, her brother Mark was born. She attended Brown University and New York University's Graduate Acting Program at the Tisch School of the Arts, graduating in 1991.[5]
She originally planned to be a professional ballerina, but after an ankle injury permanently ended the possibilities at the age of 16, she decided to take up acting.[citation needed]
