Lily Holleman

Washington, D.C., United States of America

Lily Holleman is deceptive. To see Lily's work opposite her childhood hero Tracey Ullman in the Showtime series Tracey Ullman's State of the Union (2008) (four episodes in the show's three seasons), or as "Lisa" on Showtime's Shameless (2011), or as a guest star on Comedy Central's Key and Peele (2012), is to be certain that she was born to play comedy. Then you see her as the earnest, compassionate and spirited wife of a Navy SEAL on CBS' NCIS: New Orleans (2014), or in a recurring guest-star role as the recovered meth addict and unwed mother fighting for the right to keep her child in John Wells' NBC/TNT police drama Southland (2009), and you begin to realize the range that Lily Holleman possesses. A native of Washington, D.C., and a graduate of the prestigious National Cathedral School, Lily attended Washington and Lee University, where she earned a degree in Art History and won the John Graham Award in Fine Arts (given annually to the student contributing the most to theater, studio art, music, and art history). She currently serves as both the President and Chairman of the Board of the Los Angeles Breakfast Club, an organization founded in 1925 by many of the giants of the motion picture industry.
