(Nina )
Simbi Khali plays Nina, the assistant to college professors Dr. Albright (Jane Curtin) and Dr. Solomon (John Lithgow), who often finds herself either translating or refereeing between her two bosses.

The youngest of seven children, Khali was born in Jackson, Miss., and raised in Chicago. She attended the Duke Ellington School of Arts High School and then continued her education at the California Institute of Arts, where she graduated with a B.F.A. in acting.

Her television credits include guest-starring roles on the series "Martin" and "Sinbad." In addition, she was a regular on the series "She TV," a series from both the "3rd Rock" executive producers Bonnie and Terry Turner and the Carsey-Werner Company. She is most proud of her Michael Jackson impersonation on the show.

Among her feature-film credits are appearing opposite Eddie Murphy and Angela Bassett in "A Vampire in Brooklyn," directed by Wes Craven, and "A Thin Line Between Love and Hate," directed by and starring Martin Lawrence.

Her stage credits include performances in regional productions of "The Colored Museum," "For Colored Girls ...," "A Midsummer Night's Dream" and "Troilus and Cressida."

Khali lives in Los Angeles, where in her spare time she enjoys running, camping, reading and writing. Her birthday is April 28.
