García also stars as Lindsey Johnson in Hallmark Channel's As Luck Would Have It (2021).[2] She hosted The Ultimatum: Queer Love on Netflix in 2023.

Early life

[edit]

García was born in Tampa, Florida, to Loraine, a homemaker and former elementary school teacher, and Jay García (1945–2019),[3] a gynecologist from Cuba.[4][5] She has one brother, Michael García. She began performing at age 10 when she auditioned for a local theater production and landed the lead.[citation needed]

Disney Channel discovered her, but her parents put school first and she acted in local plays to keep up with her passion. She was the homecoming queen[6] at Florida's Tampa Catholic High School.[5]

Career

[edit]

While in Florida, García guest starred in seaQuest DSV, Second Noah, and Superboy and several films of the week. While attending high school, she was re-discovered by Nickelodeon and starred for three seasons as Samantha on Are You Afraid of the Dark?. She commuted from Florida to Montreal, Canada, where the show was filmed. She was cast at the age of fifteen on the 1994 television drama Party of Five, playing the recurring character Hallie. She had a recurring role on Freaks and Geeks (1999–2000) portraying the character of Vicki Appleby, the popular freshman cheerleader who spent seven minutes in heaven with the ultimate geek, Bill Haverchuck (Martin Starr).[5] She then briefly attended college at Florida State University where she was a member of the Delta Delta Delta sorority,[7][8] but later quit school to pursue acting full-time, moving to Los Angeles, California.

García went on to portray the character of Cheyenne Hart-Montgomery, Reba's (Reba McEntire) oldest daughter on The WB/CW sitcom Reba (2001–07). She was featured on the short-lived CBS comedy Welcome to the Captain. Beginning in the fall of 2008, she starred as Megan Smith in the CW series Privileged (originally known as How to Survive the Filthy Rich). On the big screen, García was seen in the comedy spoof Not Another Teen Movie.[5] She has also appeared in the original television films From the Earth to the Moon (1998) and Love's Deadly Triangle: The Texas Cadet Murder (1997). She also appeared in the ABC Family television film The Initiation of Sarah, which premiered in October 2006. In 2008, she had a role in A Very Merry Daughter of the Bride, playing Roxanne. She had a leading role in the ABC Family television film Revenge of the Bridesmaids alongside Raven-Symoné.

In 2009, García had a recurring role on The CW drama Gossip Girl playing the role of Bree Buckley, an irreverent evil Miss America-type who is politically progressive but from a conservative Southern family. She appeared in four episodes in season three.[9] In December 2009, she guest starred as Maggie, Ted Mosby's college buddy on How I Met Your Mother.

García starred in the ABC sitcom Better with You. The show centers on two sisters who were at different points in their romantic relationships: one was unmarried and in a long-term relationship, and the other (García) got married after getting pregnant from a one-night stand.[10] It was canceled on May 13, 2011.[11]

Garcia guest-starred on The Penguins of Madagascar in the episode "The Officer X Factor/Love Hurts", which aired on February 12, 2011. In 2012, Garcia appeared in four episodes of the USA Network dramedy Royal Pains as a nephrologist treating Jack O'Malley (Tom Cavanagh).[12] In 2013, during season three of the series Once Upon a Time she began playing the recurring role of Ariel from The Little Mermaid.

Business ventures

[edit]

On May 9, 2022, she launched a home decor collection titled "Clover by Jo" for HSN.[13] The line includes bedding, pillows, mirrors, lamps, lanterns and planters.[14][15]

During her career, she has graced the covers of numerous magazines such as Latina, Miami Living[16] and Southern Living's first-ever digital issue, The Dream Homes Issue.[17] In 2004, she appeared in a promotional campaign and television commercial for retailer Kmart.[18][19] In October 2023, Garcia Swisher teamed up with McCormick for back-to-school social media ads and events.[20]

In 2008, García became engaged to Trace Ayala, the personal assistant and childhood friend of Justin Timberlake who co-founded the clothing company William Rast.[21]

In August 2009, People magazine reported that García was dating baseball player Nick Swisher.[22] They became engaged in May 2010,[23] and married on December 11, 2010, at the Breakers Hotel & Resort in Palm Beach, Florida.[24] Bridesmaids for García included friends and fellow actresses Jamie-Lynn Sigler, Melissa Peterman, and Reba McEntire.[25] Since her marriage, she has been credited as Joanna García Swisher.[12] They have two daughters, one born in 2013[26][27] and the other in 2016.[28]

Causes and interests

[edit]

García volunteers as a teacher for children who are learning English as a second language. She is involved with the organization Make the Commitment, whose purpose is to raise awareness about cervical cancer.[29][30][31] She has an organization called We Reach,[6] a charity which has assembled an advisory board in the entertainment industry to help young girls around the country organize charity events in their hometowns.
