“For the last few months, I have had the honor of working with the very talented and beautiful actress, Lira Kellerman. The play I wrote and directed her in, Sex, Faith, and Jason Wexler, has been greatly enhanced and strengthened as a result of her participation. Time has confirmed that I did myself a great favor by casting her as our leading lady. Her professionalism, consistent great work, and her prodigious talent are ever abundant, but what separates her from the rest of the actresses in her category is her innate, dynamic sense of humor. She has kept me laughing throughout the process with her solid understanding of the comedy, her personal, spot-on take of her character, and her off-the-cuff quips and asides. As you know, a pretty person who can "do the jokes" is an invaluable commodity in this business, and that's what any lucky agent/producer/writer/director has in spades if they have her on their roster. She's a one-woman electric power source, but also a team player who wants to see all succeed, and in so doing, she comes out shining and winning." —Sam & Cat director Dan Frischman
"Lira Kellerman has the intelligence and sharp wit of Tina Fey, with the girl-next-door approachability of Anna Kendrick. She possesses an incredibly strong understanding of language and dialogue which sets her apart from so many other actors." — Tanya Giang, Casting Associate, Rapaport / Baldasare Casting
"Lira Kellerman can fluctuate between the absurd, the comedic and the hysterically relate-able into a moment of completely devastating truth, in a breath. Her real-life honesty translates directly to a performance that is as humble as it is confident, as she captures the reality of life's funny tragedies.” —April Wade, Director/Producer, WOT Productions
"Lira is the best kind of actress for film and television work. She arrives on set with all prerequisite goods a director wants: the character preparation, the professional acumen, the 'let's get it' spirit. When cameras roll, she's indefatigably game to experiment, to invent, to dig into the moment and make it real and fun. That the lens loves her just makes it all the better." — Chris Pickenpaugh, Writer/Director, Fiction Theory Pictures
"Lira Kellerman is a complex combo of prude and seductress.” — Broadway World
