Aubrey Plaza



Aubrey Plaza is an American actress and comedian who has gained popularity for her persona as a Deadpan Snarker and Emotionless Girl. She has been something of a breakout star on Parks and Recreation for her role as intern (and eventually permanent assistant) April Ludgate. She actually was an intern for a Post-It note factory and an NBC page before becoming an actress. Her role in Parks and Recreation was actually made for her as the show's casting director reportedly told a producer, "I just met the weirdest girl I've ever met in my life. You have to meet her and put her on your show."

While she has had small film roles in Funny People and Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, in 2012 she will have her first starring role in the teen Sex Comedy The To Do List. As well as acting, Plaza performs improv and stand up comedy.
