About Gigi Rice

​
I was born and raised in Ohio. I am a passionate Buckeye. I wanted to be a dancer. Then became an actress.   I have worked in TV and Film for the last 25 years.  Some of my favorite roles have been Carly on The John Larroquette Show, Regan on Frasier, and Vivica in Night at the Roxbury.  But when I was 40, and cast as Marda, on Army Wives, Roxy's mom, the grandma...  I decided it was time to start  something else. I love painting. I love the freedom and expression.  I cannot get through a day without seeing something I want to paint.  Last year while golfing, my dear friend Alice Hernandez -Gaona and I  decided to open a gallery. We opened our beuatiful gallery by the sea, The Alice-Rice Gallery.

Personally, I have been married to TV icon Ted McGinley, (Happy Days, Love Boat, Dynasty, Married with Children, Hope and Faith, and Revenge of the Nerds) since 1991, and we have two very paintable sons, Beau and Quinn. I also have Tiger the cat and Dave the fish.

I hope you enjoy my paintings, and if you want to see me in action as an actress check out IMdb.com or gigirice.com . And if you want to see a gallery full of amazing art,  come to beautiful Laguna Beach and see our little gallery by the sea.
