Career
Empowered by the support of her family, Lindsay Sloane started to harbour acting aspirations when she was a child. Her family relocated to Los Angeles, California, which helped her land more acting opportunities. When she was eight years old, she found herself an agent. One time, she had an audition, and her mother drove through the 1992 LA Riots so she could attend it.
Sloane began her career in the entertainment industry as the voice of Big Sister in CBS’ Primetime animated TV special ‘Why, Charlie Brown, Why?’ She subsequently joined the cast of ‘The Wonder Years’ in season five, portraying Alice Pedermeir. Sloane went on to appear in six episodes of the show in total. In 1994, she made an appearance in an episode of the short-lived but critically-acclaimed teen-drama ‘My So-Called Life’. In 1995, she made guest-appearances in the teenage anthology series ‘CBS Schoolbreak Special’ and Fox’s sitcom ‘New York Daze’.
In 1996, she landed the recurring role of Zoey Miller in the short-lived NBC sitcom ‘Mr. Rhodes’.

Sloane became a member of the main cast of ABC’s sitcom ‘Sabrina, the Teenage Witch’ in season two in 1997, portraying Valerie Birkhead. She is the best friend of the protagonist and while she may seem as dim-witted at times, it is actually her lack of confidence that makes people question her intelligence. In season four, Sloane leaves the show when her character relocates to Alaska with her parents.

In 2000, she started playing Marcy Sternfeld, a parody of actress Tori Spelling in The WB’s sitcom ‘Grosse Pointe’, which itself was a satire on shows like the night-time soap ‘Beverly Hills, 90210’. The series was cancelled after one season.
Sloane portrayed the sixth wife in the comedy film ‘The Six Wives of Henry Lefay’ (2009), Jay Baruchel’s former girlfriend in the romantic-comedy ‘She's Out of My League’ (2010), Mark Wahlberg’s ex-fiancée in the action-comedy ‘The Other Guys’ (2010), and Charlie Day’s fiancée in the black comedy ‘Horrible Bosses’ (2011) and ‘Horrible Bosses 2’ (2014).
