Jodi Thelen (born June 12, 1962) is an American actress and mental health counselor.
Born in St. Cloud, Minnesota, Thelen made her screen debut as Georgia Miles, "a willfully free-spirited girl, naive and narcissistic" in Four Friends in 1981.
Thelen appeared on Broadway in Brighton Beach Memoirs in 1983. Her off-Broadway credits include Springtime for Henry, Largo Desolato at The Public Theater, The Nice and the Nasty at Playwrights Horizons, The Chemistry of Change, and A Body of Water, in which she played the dual roles of Sandy and Malka. For the latter, Variety praised her "stunning transformation" between roles, while The New York Times noted the "welcome comic bite" of her Malka portrayal.
Thelen's television credits include Duet, Grace Under Fire, Touched by an Angel, Joan of Arcadia and Twin Peaks.
Later in life, Thelan became a mental health counselor in Seattle, Washington.
