Who Is Casey Wilson?

Cathryn Rose “Casey” Wilson, born on October 24, 1980, is an acclaimed American actress, comedian, and screenwriter. Raised in Alexandria, Virginia, in a politically active family—her father a Republican consultant and her mother a Democratic women’s rights advocate—Wilson’s passion for performance ignited early, inspired by a childhood trip to see Cats on Broadway. After graduating from NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts in 2002, she dove into improv at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre, partnering with June Diane Raphael for their hit sketch show Prince Herzogg von Schnitzel, which earned them the 2005 Emerging Comics of New York award for Best Comedic Duo.

Wilson’s breakthrough came with a two-season stint on Saturday Night Live (2008-2009), showcasing her sharp impersonations. She skyrocketed to fame as Penny Hartz in ABC’s Happy Endings (2011-2013), earning two Critics’ Choice nominations. Her film credits include co-writing and starring in Sundance’s Ass Backwards (2013) and roles in Gone Girl (2014) and Bride Wars (2009). A versatile talent, she co-hosts the popular podcast Bitch Sesh and continues to shine in series like Black Monday and The Shrink Next Door.
