Mini Bio
Many actors who work in regional theater or touring stage companies feel displaced and long for the comforts of home. To Roma Maffia, such gigs seemed like paid vacations after years of working at other jobs to support herself.
"I loved life on the road," says Maffia. "I did not find it tiring in the least. It was a luxury to go out and do theater in a different city because it paid enough to keep me from having to find another job."
Maffia was born and raised in Manhattan, the oldest of three children. She became enamored of acting while playing the baroness in The Sound of Music at her all-girls Catholic high school. She studied acting at a teen program at the Lee Strasberg
Institute, and then became a theater major at the City College of New York.
Maffia left college and waitressed, studied acting, and performed off-Broadway, off-off Broadway, and in regional productions. At a benefit reading for The New Group in New York, casting director Jane Jenkins asked Maffia to audition for a role
in director Ron Howard's feature film The Paper, and she won the part ("Ron Howard likes to think he discovered me," says Maffia, "and he did!"). Her acting profile boosted, she made her first trip to Los Angeles in 1993 and was cast as Michael Douglas' lawyer in the film Disclosure. At the same time, she met TV
producer David Kelley, who offered her a role in his then-new series Chicago Hope.
She left Chicago Hope in 1995 after its first season and then went to work on more features, including Nick of Time, Eraser and the upcoming Kiss the Girls (with Morgan Freeman). She also appeared in NBC's movie Her Costly Affair as well as in the cable movie Mistrial.
In her leisure time, Maffia is involved with the Virginia Avenue Project, a mentoring program in which actors, writers and directors help kids appreciate theater. She also enjoys writing, running on her treadmill, and playing ping-pong, and she confesses to maintaining a large collection of shoes. Her birthday is May 31.
