Liza Weil stars as the brainy Paris Geller, best friend and occasional adversary to Rory Gilmore (Alexis Bledel) in "Gilmore Girls."

Although she was born in New Jersey, Liza Weil spent much of her childhood traveling throughout Europe with her parents, who had their own comedy troupe. When Liza Weil was 12, her family settled in Pennsylvania, and her mother began taking her to New York for auditions. At 16, she began traveling to the city alone for auditions.

Liza Weil's first acting jobs came in regional theatre, summer stock and off-Broadway plays. Liza Weil then moved to New York City to pursue her dream full-time. Liza Weil began doing student films at Columbia University, which led to an audition for an independent film called "Whatever." Weil landed the lead in the coming-of-age drama and made her film debut. Liza Weil's other film credits include "Stir of Echoes," opposite Kevin Bacon, and "Dragonfly," with Kevin Costner.

After shooting "Stir of Echoes," Liza Weil moved to Los Angeles, landing memorable guest starring appearances in "ER," as the wife of a murderous schizophrenic patient, and "The West Wing," as an intern responsible for leaking a White House staffer's drug and alcohol problem. Liza Weil also appeared as a rape victim on "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit."

Liza Weil participated in the intensive Sundance filmmakers' lab, workshopping "Scar," which was written and directed by Teboho Mahlatsi, opposite the South African cult star Ronnie Nyakale. On stage, Liza Weil recently starred in a production of "Proof," and had the great pleasure of working with her father for the first time.

Liza Weil currently lives in Los Angeles.

I wonder if they talk about Liza Weil (who is Emily's friend and a big-time Rory/Logan fan).
