Cristine Rose stars in NBC's Emmy Award-nominated ensemble drama series "Heroes" as the mysterious, calculating NY matriarch Angela Petrelli, who is willing to sacrifice anything, including her gifted sons Nathan (Adrian Pasdar) and Peter (Milo Ventimeglia), to change the world. She and her late husband were part of a core group of special individuals associated with The Company. "Heroes" follows the lives of ordinary people who discover they possess extraordinary abilities.

After graduation from Stanford University, Rose spent many years devoted to the stage. In New York, she starred in Wendy Wasserstein's long-running hit "Isn't It Romantic?" at Playwrights Horizons; and played Elfriede in Richard Foreman's production of "Three Acts of Recognition" at Joe Papp's Public Theatre.
She has performed at several regional theatres, including the Guthrie Theatre where she played the Countess in Andre Serban's acclaimed production of "The Marriage of Figaro," as well as Yelyena in "Uncle Vanya," directed by Garland Wright. Her most recent foray onto the stage was in Charles Mee's "A Perfect Wedding," directed by Gordon Davidson as the inaugural production of the Kirk Douglas Theatre in Los Angeles.
In 2007, Rose received her Master of Arts degree in theatre with distinction from California State University, Northridge. She managed to interweave her television work with classes, papers, and presentations.
