Sherry Richards
- Actress
Known for her role as "Jeanette" in Season 4 of The Walking Dead (2010), Sherry Richards grew up in the mid-western town of Youngstown, Ohio. She was born August 4, second of six children to Lillie a school janitor, and Edward a steel worker and preachers son. Since a very young age she's always had aspirations of being part of the entertainment industry.
It would be many years into adulthood that spark would be reignited.
In 1997, during a lunch break outside her place of work, in Utah, she was mesmerized by a group of people dressed in period clothing walking in synchronized fashion back and forth. Inquiring, she was told they were making a movie. That was the moment Richards realized she wanted to be part of what was happening in front of the camera.
With no formal education in television or film she took acting classes and began working in commercials, corporate videos, print and performing on stage. In 1999, after being discovered while performing at a local community theater, she earned her first theater credit at the Salt Lake Acting Company in one of Arthur Millers stage plays, The Ride Down Mt. Morgan.
Later, in 2000, Richards moved with her husband to Atlanta, GA. But it wasn't until 2013 that she received her first professional television credit, cast as Jeanette in AMC's The Walking Dead. It was only the beginning. You can now see her in many television and film projects such as Atlanta, Dynasty, Saints and Sinners, Ambitions, Ozark, etc..just to name a few.
