Carol, Christine, and Hilaria (CCH) are all names of female relatives.
Who is CCH Pounder?
Born Carol Christine Hilaria Pounder on the 25th December in 1952 in Georgetown, Guyana (then British Guiana), she is a prominent stage, television, film and voice actress, known to the world as Dr. Angela Hicks in the medical drama series “ER”, a role she played from 1994 until 1997, then as Loretta Wade in the police procedural drama series “NCIS: New Orleans” (2014-2018), and as Detective Claudette Wyms in the police drama “The Shield” (2002-2008), among many other differing roles she has secured so far in her career.
Early Life, Family, and Education
She is the daughter of Ronald Urlington Pounder and of Betsy Enid Arnella.; her birth name is comprised of the names of her female relatives, Carol, Christine and Hilaria. Although born in Guyana, she moved to England with her parents where she attended high school, but then in 1970 the Pounder family moved to the USA, where she enrolled at Ithaca College.
Career Beginnings
CCH started her career on stage, appearing in New York City theater before pursuing a career on screen. She debuted on stage in the play “The Mighty Giants”, written by Richard Wesley, and continued on Broadway with a role in “Open Admissions”. Her screen debut was in 1979 in the extremely successful comedy-drama film “All That Jazz”, which won four Academy Awards, and starred Roy Scheider, Jessica Lange and Leland Palmer, which proved to be a rather successful start for CCH. During the ‘80s, CCH appeared in many films, primarily in supporting roles, such as in the Academy Award-winning comedy crime-drama “Prizzi’s Honor” (1985), starring Jack Nickolson, Kathleen Turner and Robert Loggia, before she was cast as the lead in the drama film “Bagdad Café” in 1987, co-starring Marianne Sägebrecht and Jack Palance. The film became a complete success, making CCH quite popular within Hollywood.
CCH now became rather sought after, and offers came her way. Before the ‘80s were over, she had appeared in several television films, in 1994 reaching prominence with the part of Dr. Angela Hicks in the medical drama series “ER”, through 1997, during which time she became a highly praised actress. She enjoyed success in the ‘90s too, with roles in such films as the sci-fi “Face/Off” (1997), starring Nicolas Cage and John Travolta, while she also appeared in the horror-mystery series “Millennium” (1996-1998), while in 1999 she was Detective Marge Francis in the action film “End of Days”, starring Arnold Schwarzenegger and Gabriel Byrne. With the start of the ‘2000s, her popularity started declining, but in 2002 she bounced back with one of the most successful roles in her career, as Claudette Wyms in the TV thriller crime-drama series “The Shield”, which she played until 2008.
Continual Success
Concurrently, CCH secured several other roles, as she wanted to make an impact on the big screen, but despite the independent film “Rain” released in 2008, she didn’t have much success. Television was where she also pursued success though, and it paid off once again when in 2009 she was chosen for the part of Mrs Irene Frederic in the sci-fi mystery drama series “Warehouse 13” 2009, until 2014. Nevertheless, she didn’t quit from auditioning for a prominent film role, and in 2009 she played Moat in the fantasy action-adventure film “Avatar”, and is to repeat her role in the eagerly-awaited sequel, scheduled for release in 2020. After her role in “Avatar”, CCH secured a guest-starring role in the ABC drama series “Revenge” in 2011, while two years later she portrayed Dorothea in the fantasy action-horror film “The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones”. In 2014 CCH returned to the small screen with the role of Loretta Wade in the popular drama series “NCIS: New Orleans” (2014-2018), since when she has been solely focused on the role.
CCH is recognized for her deep strong voice, which she has used to good effect in securing a few notable roles as a voice actress. As early as 1993 she voiced a character for the first time in her career, that of Stonecutter in the TV series “Biker Mice from Mars”, however, her most prominent voice roles have included Amanda Waller in the animated TV series “Justice League Unlimited” (2004-2006), and the Golden Queen in the video game “Skylanders: SuperChargers” in 2015, plus its sequel “Skylanders: Imaginations” in 2016, among many other projects.

Quote
1
With acting, I started very young, and I’d performed for a lot of children in boarding schools, late at night after the dormitory lights were out. I’d have a flashlight, and I’d be Count Dracula, or Shakespeare, or Yogi Bear, and leap from bunk to bunk. I loved the laughter; I liked the way it made people feel.

Applause is the most powerful thing… people talk about the sound of it, but what I hear is glee.
