Tracy Lynn Middendorf (born January 26, 1970 in Miami Beach, Florida) is an American television, movie, and stage actress. She attended Pickens High School in Jasper, Georgia. In 1987, during her senior year, she left Jasper to take drama classes in Miami, and later attended SUNY Purchase.
She broke into television as Carrie Brady on the daytime soap opera Days of Our Lives in 1992. Since then, she has made a career as a supporting actress in several movies and frequent episodic appearances on television, notably out-of-work actress Tina on the first episode of Angel, unfaithful fiancée Risa Helms in two episodes of Ally McBeal, Steve-stalker Laura Kingman in six episodes of Beverly Hills, 90210, and abused wife Carla Matheson in three early episodes of 24, Season Two (actually she was in a fourth episode, reprising her corpse technique from Angel). In 2005, she appeared as a worried mother in House and has a major role in El Cortez (in production) as Jack's girlfriend, Theda.
She won an Ovation Award for her interpretation of Alma in Tennessee Williams' Summer and Smoke at the Fountain Theater in 1999, and starred opposite Craig T. Nelson as Muriel McComber in the 1998 Lincoln Center production of Ah, Wilderness!.
She is married to Franz Wisner, author of the well-received book Honeymoon with My Brother, and has two children.
