Allie Grant

At the age of 10, Allie Grant and her mother left their native Mississippi to pursue Grant's inherent dream of becoming an actor. After arriving in Los Angeles, she began auditioning and soon found herself on the Showtime pilot "Weeds" as a guest star, little did she know she would later become a series regular. In the five seasons she spent on the show, the series was nominated for five Emmy Awards and three Golden Globes, all including Best Comedy. Grant and the cast were also nominated for the distinguished Best Cast Ensemble at the Screen Actor's Guild Awards in both 2007 and 2009.

In 2011, her ABC series "Suburgatory" debuted to enthusiastic viewers and critics alike, making it the highest rated series in six years for the network's time slot. Created by Emily Kapnek, the show is a satirical exploration of the suburbs through the eyes of Manhattan natives Tessa and George, a disillusioned teenage girl and her single father. The show also stars Cheryl Hines with "Saturday Night Live" alums Chris Parnell and Ana Gasteyer as Grant's parents. From New York's Tribeca Film Festival to France's Festival de Cannes, Grant's "Struck by Lightning" caused quite the stir amongst distributors, and reunited Grant with her first director, Brian Dannelly. The movie was released in January of 2013 and was soon met with a cult following.

Later that year, she began guest starring on "The Goldbergs" as the fierce and overtly loving Evy Silver, who bares a striking resemblance both physically and in essence to Mrs. Goldberg, and becomes quickly entangled in the series' celebrated love triangle between Geoff Schwartz and Erica Goldberg. Now with the series' hit spin off "Schooled," Grant continues Evy's journey, alongside the William Penn High School Staff, as she navigates her way through the absurdities and chaos of adulthood.

Grant's most recent series "All Night," is currently streaming on Hulu. The anthology series examines a group of high school seniors throughout the course of one night; as they navigate their way through their grad night celebration party, we witness their emotional personal journeys of discoveries and transformation.

Grant's work also expands into the theater, her first love, including the Los Angeles run of "How I Learned to Drive", and the production of her original piece "Who Sings to the Sparrow," inspired by the Elie Wiesel memoir "Night", which she also directed and starred.
