Lugar y fecha de nacimiento. C.C.H. Pounder (1952 - ) Actress Born As: Carol Christine Hilaria Pounder Born: December 25, 1952, Georgetown, British Guyana Education: Ithaca College, NY (Drama) This attractive, stage-trained Black actress' unusual film acting resume began with a small role in EL SHOW DEBE SEGUIR (1979) and also included bit parts in I'M DANCING AS FAST AS I CAN (1982) and EL HONOR DE LOS PRIZZI (1985). Pounder's first memorable feature starring role was in Percy Adlon's BAGDAD CAFE (1988) as a gutsy, highly overworked mother of four who runs a truckstop in Nevada and becomes unlikely friends with a naive plump German tourist. Subsequent film appearances include smaller roles in RECUERDOS DE HOLLYWOOD (1990), the misbegotten SLIVER (1993), and ROBOCOP 3 (1993). Pounder's TV credits include the historical dramas AS SUMMERS DIE (HBO, 1986) and CRIMEN EN MISSISSIPPI (1990). She was outstanding as a mother struggling for a better life for her children in the TV adaptation of J. Anthony Lukas' COMMON GROUND (CBS, 1990), a nonfiction account of the strife caused by the court-ordered desegregation of Boston's public schools in the early 1970s. Pounder garnered an Emmy nod playing a skeptical FBI agent overseeing a bizarre hostage crisis on The X-Files (Fox, 1994). She also appeared in the recurring role of Dr. Angela Hicks on medical drama ER (NBC) during the 1994-95 season.
