In "Bombshell" -- In Theaters Now!

Go see “Bombshell!” I’ve got a scene with Charlize Theron in the hit movie, which is in movie theaters now.

When Gretchen Carlson (Nicole Kidman) slaps Fox News founder Roger Ailes (John Lithgow) with a lawsuit alleging sexual harassment, not a soul could predict what would happen next. Her decision leads to Fox News correspondent Megyn Kelly (Charlize Theron) coming forward with her own story, as well as multiple other women, inciting a movement that reverberates around the world.

Such a fun shoot, with amazing, talented, generous folks. I am so proud to be a small part of this great cast, which is nominated for “Outstanding Performance by a Cast” SAG-AFTRA Award!

In Brie Larson's Upcoming Film "Unicorn Store" -- Premiering at TIFF 2017

Can't wait to see Brie Larson's directorial debut film "Unicorn Store," which will be premiering at the 2017 Toronto International Film Festival! I shot a really fun scene for this unique and wonderful film, and I'm happy to report that Brie Larson is efficient, smart, generous, and kind -- both as director and actor. Excited to see the final result! It's a great script by Samantha McIntyre. Here's an interview with Brie for Variety

"Other People" in Sundance Film Festival's Opening Night

Written and directed by talented SNL writer Chris Kelly, "Other People" is a wonderful indie film starring Jesse Plemons, Molly Shannon, Bradley Whitford, and more. It also has the honor of being one of the opening night films in the 2016 Sundance Film Festival in January! [UPDATE AS OF 2/24/16: THIS FILM WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR VIEWING VIA NETFLIX SOMETIME THIS FALL.]

I had the fun of playing Cathy Columbo, a woman who inadvertently interrupts a very important family moment. It's a small role but it was a blast, and I can't wait to see this one. Congrats to the cast and crew!
