Liza Weil: Summary

Recent Role:
Alison Clark on Grey's Anatomy
Gender:
Female
Birthday:
6-5-1977
Birthplace:
City Unknown, New Jersey
Birth Name:
Elizabeth Audrey Weil
Although Liza was born in New Jersey, she spent much of her childhood traveling throughout Europe with her parents, who had their own comedy troupe. When she was 12, her family settled in Pennsylvania, and her mother began taking her to New York for auditions. At 16, she began traveling to the city alone for auditions. Her first acting jobs came in regional theatre, summer stock and off-Broadway plays. She then moved to New York City to pursue her dream full-time. She began doing student films at Columbia University, which led to an audition for an independent film called Whatever. Liza landed the lead in the coming-of-age drama and made her film debut. Her other film credits include Stir of Echoes opposite Kevin Bacon, and Dragonfly with Kevin Costner.

After shooting Stir of Echoes, Liza moved to Los Angeles, landing memorable guest-starring appearances in ER, as the wife of a murderous schizophrenic patient, and The West Wing as an intern responsible for leaking a White House staffer's drug and alcohol problem. On stage, she later starred in a production of Proof, and had the great pleasure of working with her father for the first time. Liza is probably still best known for her role as Paris Gellar on Gilmore Girls.
