Biography
About Briga Heelan
Briga Heelan first made her mark on the sitcom Cougar Town, where her breakout TV role earned her recognition. She went on to star in Ground Floor, a series that caught the attention of critics. TV critic Alan Sepinwall said she is "simply terrific as Jenny: warm and quirky while always feeling like a strong and independent character." The Los Angeles Times echoed that praise, writing that she "makes Ground Floor watchable" and describing her as "remarkably alive and in the moment."
Heelan's path to television wasn't a straight line. She originally intended to focus on musical theatre and met her future Ground Floor co-star, Skylar Astin, at a musical theatre convention. Her career in front of the camera has included guest spots on Curb Your Enthusiasm and a recurring role on Undateable, where she appeared in three episodes plus the pilot. She was able to work on both Ground Floor and Undateable simultaneously because both are multi-camera comedies, which require fewer production days than single-camera shows.
Born in Andover, Massachusetts on April 2, 1987, Heelan is American and of Caucasian ethnicity. She stands 5'5" with blonde hair and blue eyes, a slim build, and natural breasts measuring 37-26-36. She has been acting professionally since 2009, building a career that spans over 15 years. Her Instagram following sits at 43k, a modest number for someone with her television résumé.
