Emmy Award-winning actress Lisa Kudrow continues to bring her original sense of comedic timing and delivery to every role she takes on and is able to venture between films to television to the internet with ease.

Lisa made her feature film debut in the Albert Brooks’ comedy Mother in 1996. Following Mother she starred opposite Toni Collette and Parker Posey in Clockwatchers (1997) and in the critically acclaimed hit comedy Romy & Michele’s High School Reunion (1997) with Mira Sorvino which garnered her widespread popularity with film audiences.

She went on to star in The Opposite of Sex for writer/director Don Roos (1998); Analyze This (1999) and the sequel Analyze That (2002) with Robert DeNiro and Billy Crystal; Lucky Numbers (2000) with John Travolta; Hanging Up (2000) opposite Meg Ryan and Diane Keaton; Wonderland (2004) with Val Kilmer; Happy Endings (2005) for writer/director Don Roos; the independent film Kabluey (2007); P.S. I Love You (2007) with Hilary Swank and Gerard Butler; Hotel for Dogs (2008); Powder Blue (2009) with Forrest Whitaker and Ray Liotta and Bandslam (2009); and Paper Man (2010) opposite Jeff Daniels.

Most recently she starred in Easy A with Emma Stone, Stanley Tucci, Patricia Clarkson and Thomas Hayden Church which opened in September 2010. Lisa’s upcoming feature film projects include Love and Other Impossible Pursuits with Natalie Portman for director Don Roos, which premiered at the Toronto Film Festival last fall and will be released in early 2011.

Lisa has always received rave reviews for her feature film roles. She won the Best Supporting Actress Award from the New York Film Critics, an Independent Spirit Award nomination and a Chicago Film Critics Award nomination for her role in The Opposite of Sex. She won a Blockbuster Award and received a nomination for an American Comedy Award for her starring role in the box office hit Analyze This for director Harold Ramis.

Of course it was Lisa’s role as Phoebe Buffay, the character she brilliantly portrayed on the NBC hit comedy series Friends for ten seasons (1994-2004) that brought her to audience attention worldwide. For this role Lisa was nominated for an Emmy award five times and won once for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series in 1998. Lisa also received a Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Comedy Series, an American Comedy Award for Funniest Supporting Female Performer in a Television Series and a Golden Globe Award nomination.

In the fall of 2003 Lisa formed the production company, Is or Isn't Entertainment with actor/writer Dan Bucatinsky. Is or Isn’t Entertainment has garnered great success since its inception. In addition to having four pilots ordered, Is or Isn’t’s first television series, the critically acclaimed HBO series The Comeback (2005) garnered three Emmy Award nominations including one for Lisa for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series.

Who Do You Think You Are, the second series from Is or Isn’t Entertainment, recently completed airing the second season of the NBC documentary series. The series which traces the genealogy of a well-known person in each episode is about to begin production on season three.

Is or Isn’t also produces the web series, Web Therapy, in which Lisa stars. Seasons 1-3 of the critically acclaimed series, which is about a therapist who does sessions with her clients via the internet, can be found at www.lstudio.com and is also available for download on iTunes.
