Siobhan is the daughter of attorney William J. Fallon and Jane Fallon of Syracuse, New York. Born in 1961, she is the second of five children. A graduate of Le Moyne College in Syracuse, New York, she received her M.F.A. from Catholic University. She began her career on stage in her own character-driven, one-women shows. After appearing in her show, "Bat Girl," she was cast on "Saturday Night Live" (1975) in 1992. This show opened many doors for Fallon, and she then began to work steadily in film. Although she began in comedy, Fallon has a following in dramatic foreign films, notably Lars von Trier's Dancer in the Dark (2000) and Dogville (2003). She also played in Michael Haneke's Funny Games (2007). Her television credits include a recurring role on "Seinfeld" (1990) as Elaine's roommate, Alec Baldwin's sister on "30 Rock" (2006) and several other guest spots. Fallon-Hogan just completed filming Gold Circle Film's New in Town (2009) starring Renée Zellweger and Harry Connick Jr.. She plays Renee's secretary, Blanche, who hails from Minnesota. The romantic comedy was released in early 2009. She has been happily married to commodities trader Peter Hogan for fifteen years. They have three children: Bernadette, Peter and Sinead. She also has a dog, Oreo, and two cats, Tiger and Bootsie, respectively. Her gerbils Frisky and Whiskers have gone to the other side. Fallon was hoping they might make it until St. Patrick's Day, but it just didn't work out that way. Their loss was difficult, but she somehow managed to enjoy St. Patty's anyway.
