Briga Heelan

  

Heelan was the daughter of Kimball Heelan, an actress and teacher at Lowell Public Schools, and Kevin Heelan, a playwright. Conor is her older brother. Heelan's father, who is also known as being a dramaticist, has been a faculty member at Phillips Andover Academy since 1983. Heelan was a student at the Walnut Hill School for the Arts, and then spent an entire year at the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music. Heelan was then transferred to the University of Southern California. In 2009, he graduated with the degree of Bachelor of Arts. Heelan received the James B. Pendleton Award to honor her exceptional achievements at the USC School of Dramatic Arts. Heelan was planning to become a director of musical theatre. She had a meeting with her Ground Floor co-star, Skylar Astin during a musical theatre convention. Her breakout TV role was in Cougar Town. She played a character who was featured in the three-episode pilot of Undateable and was also credited. Because both Bill Lawrence's Ground Floor as well as Undateable were multi-camera comedies they were able to be shot concurrently. She also starred in the pilot episode of Season 10. For her part in Ground Floor television critic Alan Sepinwall said Heelan is "simply terrific as Jenny she is warm and witty while always feeling like an independent, strong character". The Los Angeles Times said Heelan "makes Ground Floor watchable" she was described as "remarkably alive and in the moment"; she brings to life everything she touches. I'd recommend that you tune in to just watch her work, and I will do it.
