Riki Lindhome
Erika "Riki" Lindhome (born 1978 or 1979) is an American actress, comedian and musician. She is best known as a singer and songwriter for the comedy folk duo Garfunkel and Oates with Kate Micucci.
After making her television debut in 2002 with minor roles in the series Titus and Buffy the Vampire Slayer, she guest-starred on the WB series Gilmore Girls (2005–2006), the CBS sitcom The Big Bang Theory (2008; 2017) and the HBO series Enlightened (2011). She co-created and starred in the Comedy Central period sitcom Another Period (2015–2018) with Natasha Leggero. She voiced the recurring role of Kimberly Harris in the Fox animated sitcom series Duncanville (2020–2022), and in 2022 she starred as Dr. Valerie Kinbott in the Netflix comedy horror series Wednesday.
Lindhome made her feature film debut in the 2004 film Million Dollar Baby as Mardell Fitzgerald, and went on to star in the comedy horror films Hell Baby (2013) and The Wolf of Snow Hollow (2020). In 2007, she formed Garfunkel and Oates with actress Kate Micucci. They wrote, produced and starred in an eponymous television series on IFC, which aired for one season in 2014. Their 2016 Vimeo comedy special Garfunkel and Oates: Trying to Be Special was nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Original Music and Lyrics.
Erika Lindhome is a native of Coudersport, Pennsylvania, and raised in Portville, New York. She is primarily of Swedish and Norwegian ancestry. Lindhome graduated from Portville High School in 1997. She majored in communications and film at Syracuse University, where she graduated in 2000.
In 1997, Lindhome won first prize in the JFK Profiles in Courage essay contest awarded by the John F. Kennedy Library in Boston. Her subject was United States Representative Carolyn McCarthy (D-NY), whose outrage at the murder of her husband during the 1993 Long Island Rail Road shooting compelled her to challenge and win the seat held by her congressman, who had voted to repeal the Federal Assault Weapons Ban.
Without an agent, Lindhome started her acting career with a role in a short film "Backseat Detour" (as a backseat passenger), and as Charlie in the sitcom Titus. In a season seven episode of the TV series Buffy the Vampire Slayer she was the crutches-using student Cheryl in 2002. In 2003, she joined The Actors' Gang and appeared in the play Embedded in two roles (a commedia dell'arte of Condoleezza Rice, and a reporter) and was one of four actors from the play to be cast in the 2004 Academy Award-winning film Million Dollar Baby, where she played Mardell Fitzgerald, the trailer-living sister of Maggie, the film's lead.[better source needed]
Lindhome briefly appeared as a nameless inquisitive student in a season three episode of the television series Gilmore Girls in 2002 before later guest-starring as calorie-counter Juliet on the show's fifth and sixth seasons. She also appeared as Janelle in the 2006 techno-horror film Pulse and as a cruel nurse in the 2008 crime drama film Changeling. She guest-starred on the television series The Big Bang Theory as Ramona Nowitzki, a controlling graduate student obsessed with Sheldon Cooper, in seasons two, ten and eleven (2008, 2017). She guest-starred in the television series Pushing Daisies as the pie-loving Jeanine. In 2008, she played Hilary, a devout Christian girl who has a purposely disastrous date with Dane Cook in My Best Friend's Girl; and had a minor role as murder victim Vanessa Holden on the crime drama series Criminal Minds. In 2009, she starred as the vicious, amoral Sadie in The Last House on the Left, a remake of the 1972 horror film of the same name.
In 2011, Lindhome was featured alongside Heather Morris, Sofía Vergara and Ashley Lendzion in "Nuthin' But a Glee Thang", a Glee-themed Funny or Die parody of the Dr. Dre song "Nuthin' but a 'G' Thang". From 2010 to 2013, she developed and hosted the Nerdist podcast Making It with Riki Lindhome, interviewing people in the entertainment industry about their rise to fame. From 2011 to 2013, she guest-starred as Harper on the HBO television series Enlightened. She played a female version of Conrade, one of Don John's followers with whom he has a steamy relationship in Joss Whedon's Much Ado About Nothing, and appeared as the "Galaxy Scout" costume-wearing Denise in the 2012 comedy film Fun Size. In 2013, she starred in the horror-comedy film Hell Baby as Marjorie, the protagonist's Wiccan sister, a role for which she did a full frontal nude scene that attracted attention for being unusually lengthy.
