Edit
  • Trivia
    Has stated publicly that she saw the original Broadway cast in the stage production of "Rent" and their performances inspired her to audition several times for the show (all unsuccessful). She finally had her opportunity to join the cast in 2005 when she became one of two "new" principal actors to join most of the original Broadway cast in the feature film version.
  • Quotes
    I like shows that are ensemble-based, that explore the humanity of every character.
