Penny Johnson Jerald was born in Baltimore, Maryland. She trained at the Juilliard School, where her classmates in 1982 included fellow actors Megan Gallagher, Jack Kenny, Jack Stehlin, and Lorraine Toussaint.
She currently portrays Dr. Claire Finn in the FOX show “The Orville”, with the character also hailing from Penny’s hometown of Baltimore, MD. Dr. Finn leads the ship’s staff of medical officers and has established herself as a source of strength for the rest of the senior staff. Her presence both on the Orville’s bridge and in sick bay places her in the unique position to help the bridge officers and to communicate the needs of the rest of the ship.
Jerald began her career with small guest roles, appearing in
The Paper Chase from 1984 to 1986, General Hospital in 1986, and Do the Right

Jerald guest starred in several television series, including Parker Lewis Can’t
Lose, Star Trek: The Next Generation, Grace Under Fire, Cosby and Family Law.
Following Larry Sanders, Jerald appeared in the 1997 film
Absolute Power and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine playing freighter captain Kasidy

recurring role which she played from 1995 to the show’s end in 1999. She also
had a recurring guest role on ER as Lynette Evans from 1998 to 1999. She then
appeared as Roscoe Dellums in the Emmy Award winning TV movie The Color of
Friendship. Jerald has also guest starred on Frasier, The Practice, Touched by
an Angel, The X-Files and Tyler Perry’s House of Payne among her many credits.
Jerald’s arguably most-recognized role came in 2001 when she
appeared in the pilot episode of the Kiefer Sutherland-led Fox series, 24,
playing Sherry Palmer, the wife of Senator David Palmer. She appeared in all
but two of the first season episodes and multiple episodes of the second and
third seasons.
In 2003, Jerald played Condoleezza Rice in DC 9/11: Time of
Crisis, a TV movie about the September 11 attacks in 2001. She reprised the
role in the miniseries The Path to 9/11, which aired September 10–11, 2006.
Jerald joined the cast of ABC’s Castle in its fourth season
as the new captain of the 12th Precinct, Victoria “Iron” Gates,

of the precinct.
