Lily Kerrigan is an actor whom critics have characterized as "a lovely ingénue" with "reserves of steel." Collaborators have called her fearless, bold, and thoughtful. Coaches and teachers have described her as diligent, articulate, and analytical. She was raised in D.C., and no matter where she goes, she'll always have that classically Washingtonian blend of high competence, medium neurosis, and a low-level know-it-all streak. In addition to acting, she is also a stand-up comic.
