She’s a talented actress known for her work on both stage and screen, and her breakthrough really came in 2009 when she took home not just one, but two major honors—the Theatre World Award and the Tony Award for Best Performance by a Featured Actress in a Play—for her powerful role in Reasons to Be Pretty. That performance definitely put her on the map. Fast forward to 2015, and she landed her first series regular role on television, playing Julia in the popular show Sneaky Pete, which marked a new chapter in her career. Before all the fame and spotlight, she was building her foundation—earning a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from The Hartt School at the University of Hartford, where she honed her craft. Her professional journey began off-Broadway with her debut in the 2001 play Nocturne, a moment that set the tone for what was to come. Born and raised in Camarillo, California, she grew up with strong family roots; her parents, Roy and Carol, supported her passion from the start. Throughout it all, she’s remained grounded, letting her talent speak for itself—and audiences continue to take notice.
She has appeared in several notable films throughout her career, including The Manchurian Candidate in 2004, I Am Legend in 2007, Rachel Getting Married in 2008, and Hell or High Water in 2016, to name just a few.
