Rick Schroder (born Richard Schroder on April 13, 1970 on Staten Island, New York) (also known as Ricky Schroder) is an American actor who began his career as a child actor. In 2000, Michelle also had a recurring role in the first eight episodes of TV series The District which she followed up with the TV series Wonderland, a series set in a mental institution. For some time, Michelle was in a relationship with her Homicide co-star Reed Diamond. Her character was evantually written out, but she returned in the 2000 TV movie. In 1996, Michelle appeared alongside Stockard Channing in a TV film entitled The Prosecutors and then gained her first major television role in Homicide: Life on the Street playing Dr. Julianna Cox from 1996 to 1998.

For a brief while in the early 1990s, Michelle was reportedly married to actor Ross Kettle. Perhaps because of her huge fan base, the producers asked Michelle back again when launching Star Trek: Voyager but she again declined. Ensign Ro remains a hugely popular character amongst Trek fandom, and Dennis Haysbert, with whom she later starred with in 24 was apparently awestruck to be working alongside Ensign Ro. Michelle also guest starred in an episode of Seinfeld, playing a girlfriend of George Costanza (Jason Alexander), and then returned - to the enjoyment of the fans - for one final episode of TNG entitled Preemptive Strike.

In 1993, she starred with David Duchovny, Brad Pitt and Juliette Lewis in the cult film Kalifornia, following this up alongside Kevin Spacey in Swimming with Sharks and in John Carpenter's Escape From L.A.. After this, Forbes and the Trek producers did not get on well, so she moved on. They originally envisioned Ensign Ro as the lead character, but at this stage in her career, Forbes wasn't interested in a long-running television role, so a new character, Kira Nerys (Nana Visitor) was created for the show. With TNG such a hit, the producers decided to make another Trek series: Deep Space Nine.

Ro was a Bajoran whose bad-girl attitude had caused her to make several enemies, but the crew of the Enterprise - particularly Guinan (Whoopi Goldberg) took her in. The producers were evidently impressed, as she was brought back in the fifth season to play Ro Laren, a recurring character, for several episodes. In 1991, she had a small role in an episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation as the daughter of a character played by David Ogden Stiers. After this role, she continued in theater - an early love of hers - and began with small guest roles in television, to raise her profile.

While little is known about her early life, she moved to New York at age 16 and got a role on the daytime soap opera The Guiding Light which earned her a Daytime Emmy nomination for her dual role as Sonni/Solita. Michelle was born in Austin, Texas on 8 January 1967.
