Biography

Wendy Braun is an accomplished actress with more than 90 film, television, and theater credits, recognized for her versatile range, sharp comedic instincts, and commanding screen presence.

She stars in a pivotal, season-defining role in Jury Duty Presents: Company Retreat, the second installment of the Emmy-nominated documentary-style comedy series, portraying a formidable private equity executive whose presence drives the season’s central power struggle between corporate ambition and small-business values.

Previously, she garnered widespread recognition for her acclaimed four-season run as the uptight yet well-intentioned Kathy on Netflix’s Atypical, opposite Jennifer Jason Leigh and Michael Rapaport, a performance critics praised as "a stand-out among the cast." Equally at home in comedy and drama, Braun has built a career playing vivid, sharply drawn characters with precision, wit, and authority. Her television credits include Grey’s Anatomy (ABC), This Is Us (NBC), It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia (FX/Hulu), Bones (FOX), The Mentalist (CBS), Documentary Now! (IFC), and Criminal Minds (CBS). Her film work includes starring as the high-strung, hilariously frazzled ‘Sherryl’ in the cult comedy feature Donny’s Bar Mitzvah opposite Danny Trejo, and roles in The Clapper alongside Ed Helms and Tracy Morgan. She also enjoyed a notable 10-episode arc on General Hospital, where her memorable portrayal of the officious Ms. Iris Sneed led to a contract role on the spin-off series General Hospital: Night Shift.

A highly sought-after voiceover talent with more than 1,000 credits, Braun is a fan favorite for her role as undercover agent Gianna Parasini in the Mass Effect franchise, with additional work including Cartoon Network’s We Bare Bears and major national advertising campaigns.

A Midwest native, Braun studied theater at Indiana University and trained in comedy and improvisation at The Groundlings and Upfront Comedy, with stand-up experience at venues including The Improv, The Comedy Store and Zanies. She resides in Los Angeles with her husband, actor Josh Cox, and their two sons.
