Liz Larsen is an American actress.
Early life
Larsen was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. She attended George School in Newtown, Pennsylvania. She is one of three daughters whose grandfather was vaudevillian Georgie Price and whose mother, uncle, and maternal grandmother were performers. Because her mother handled press relations for the Bucks County Playhouse, Larsen grew up around acting, with interns from the Playhouse as babysitters, "and if they needed a little girl for something I would be in it", she said, "I didn't even question it, ever." She gained additional acting experience at the George School, in public high school, State University of New York at Purchase, and in rural stock companies' summer seasons.
Career
Larsen is best known for playing Jessica Reed on Law & Order. Larsen appeared on Broadway in The Most Happy Fella revival (1992), Hairspray, The Rocky Horror Show, Damn Yankees, Starmites, and Fiddler on the Roof. She has performed in Beautiful: The Carole King Musical since its opening in 2014. Her performance in The Most Happy Fella resulted in an LA Drama League Award and nominations for a Drama Desk Award, an Outer Critic's Circle Award, and a Tony Award.
