Casey Wilson Biography
A comedienne best known for her tenure on NBC's Saturday_Night_Live, actress-cum-playwright Casey Wilson laid claim to a prestigious educational pedigree that included enrollment at New York University's Tisch School for the Arts and further study at the exclusive Stella Adler School of Acting. She then teamed up with fellow comedy writer June_Diane_Raphael to co-author a sellout two-woman show, +Rode Hard and Put Away Wet, at Manhattan's Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre. The production ran for 11 months, made the Aspen Comedy and Arts Festival, and won the covetable ECNY award for Best Comedic Duo for its two creators; it also drew the attention of SNL, and executive producer Lorne_Michaels recruited Wilson as one of the program's in-house performers in 2008. By that point, Wilson had already branched out into feature-film activity, with small roles in Christopher_Guest's For_Your_Consideration (2006) and Bob_Odenkirk's The_Brothers_Solomon (2007); she and Raphael subsequently authored the script for the comedy Bride_Wars, co-starring Anne_Hathaway and Kate_Hudson. In 2008, Wilson held a small role opposite John_Malkovich and Colin_Hanks in the showbiz drama The_Great_Buck_Howard. Nathan Southern, Rovi
