Ari Graynor      

Actress, Producer & Writer

A favorite on the independent film circuit for over a decade, actress Ari Graynor gave expert portrayals of young women under duress in "Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist" and "For a Good Time, Call." She made an auspicious debut as Meadow Soprano's manic-depressive roommate on "The Sopranos," before essaying variations on that role in numerous independent projects. Network television soon took note of her abilities, allowing Graynor to add appearances on "Veronica Mars" to her growing c.v., which also included a role on Broadway in "Relatively Speaking."

By the mid-2000s, Graynor was appearing in mainstream features like "Conviction," which eventually led to leading roles and producer duties in her own project, the raunchy comedy "For a Good Time, Call." Graynor also starred on Broadway opposite Cheyenne Jackson, Henry Winkler and Alicia Silverstone in David West Read's play "The Performers," which opened November 2012 at the Longacre Theatre.

She most recently appeared in "Yen," a play by Anna Jordan. "Yen" opened off-Broadway at the Lucille Lortel Theatre on January 31, 2017.

Her effortless turns in difficult roles, as well as her inherent versatility, have minted her as an in-demand character actress in a wide variety of media.
