Raver is thrilled to be reunited with "Third Watch" creator John Wells (with whom she worked on "Trinity") and loves the complexities of her character, "She is thrill seeking and compassionate, a dedicated adrenaline junkie with a streak of self–destructiveness when it comes to men."

Her big break came with her Broadway debut in the play "Holiday" in which she co-starred with Laura Linney ("The Truman Show") and Tony Goldwyn.
