Rebecca Creskoff

biography:
Rebecca Creskoff was born and raised in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. She is the daughter of Betty Jane Creskoff, a home maker, and Howard Creskoff a lawyer, and has an older sister. Her father is of Russian Jewish decent and her mother is of mostly English and German ancestry--a true Midwestern protestant.

The New Yorker Magazine describes Creskoff as "immensely gifted, with formidable technique" and named her one of the best performers of 2010.

Creskoff studied English literature at the University of Pennsylvania and then, following the advice of her friend and mentor Debra Messing, chose to hone her craft more seriously at the prestigious MFA acting training program at New York University. Classmates included David Costible, Victor Williams, Sean P. Thomas, Glenn Fleshler and Aunjanue Ellis.

Her first job after graduating was the long running Steve Martin play "Picasso At The Lapin Agile" at the Promenade Theater in New York City with Gabriel Macht and Jason Antoon. During this time she supported her theater habit by doing national commercials for products such as Massengill Douche, Budweiser with co-star Cara Buono (Stranger Things) Puff tissues, Olive Garden, Joy dish washing detergent, and Pampers diapers.

Her first television role was playing a waitress on Law and Order: SVU. Later that year she guest starred on the original Law and Order and then returned to Law and Order twelve years later in the role of public defender Veronica Masters in season 20.

Her theater credits include the Broadway play Lousing Louie at Manhattan Theater Club, The All-American at Lincoln Center 3, multiple productions playing Helena in A Midsummer Night's Dream as well as numerous plays at the Williamstown Theater Festival (most notably playing Luca in Arms and the Man opposite Christopher Evan Welch) and the Berkshire Theater Festival in Miss Julie opposite Mark Feuerstein and Marin Hinkle. She later starred opposite Feuerstein in the movie Knucklehead and with Hinkle in the play Measure for Measure.

She made her way out west after being cast in Love's Labor Lost at the Old Globe Theater in San Diego directed by Roger Reese. She made a side trip to Los Angeles and her first audition was for E.R. which she did not get. But producer John Wells brought her back in the next day to read for Aaron Sorkin's new show The West Wing. Creskoff was cast in a large guest starring role opposite Rob Lowe with Jamie Denton on the first episode of the second season of the acclaimed hit show. Numerous guest starring and substantial recurring roles followed on The Practice, Justified, Bates Motel, Parenthood, Mad Men, The New Adventures of Old Christine, Girlfriends, Desperate Housewives, Party Down, How I Met Your Mother, Justified, Curb Your Enthusiasm, and the mother of the Jonas Brothers, among others.

biography:
Rebecca Creskoff wurde in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, geboren und wuchs dort auf. Sie ist die Tochter von Betty Jane Creskoff, einer Hausfrau, und Howard Creskoff, einem Anwalt, und hat eine ältere Schwester. Ihr Vater ist russisch-jüdischer Abstammung, ihre Mutter stammt überwiegend aus England und Deutschland – eine echte protestantische Mittlerin aus dem Mittleren Westen. Das New Yorker Magazin beschreibt Creskoff als „immens begabt, mit beeindruckender Technik“ und ernannte sie zu einer der besten Darstellerinnen des Jahres 2010.

Creskoff studierte englische Literatur an der University of Pennsylvania und entschied sich dann, dem Rat ihrer Freundin und Mentorin Debra Messing folgend, ihre Fähigkeiten ernsthafter im renommierten MFA-Schauspielausbildungsprogramm der New York University zu vertiefen. Zu ihren Klassenkameraden gehörten David Costible, Victor Williams, Sean P. Thomas, Glenn Fleshler und Aunjanue Ellis.

Ihr erster Job nach dem Abschluss war das lang laufende Steve-Martin-Stück „Picasso At The Lapin Agile“ im Promenade Theater in New York City mit Gabriel Macht und Jason Antoon. Während dieser Zeit finanzierte sie ihre Theaterleidenschaft durch nationale Werbespots für Produkte wie Massengill Douche, Budweiser (mit Co-Star Cara Buono aus „Stranger Things“), Puff-Taschentücher, Olive Garden, Joy-Spülmittel und Pampers-Windeln.

Ihre erste Fernsehrolle war die einer Kellnerin in „Law and Order: SVU“. Später in diesem Jahr hatte sie einen Gastauftritt in der Originalserie „Law and Order“ und kehrte zwölf Jahre später in der Rolle der Pflichtverteidigerin Veronica Masters in Staffel 20 zu „Law and Order“ zurück.

Zu ihren Theaterengagements zählen das Broadway-Stück „Losing Louie“ im Manhattan Theater Club, „The All-American“ am Lincoln Center 3, mehrere Produktionen als Helena in „Ein Sommernachtstraum“ sowie zahlreiche Stücke beim Williamstown Theater Festival (am bemerkenswertesten als Luca in „Arms and the Man“ an der Seite von Christopher Evan Welch) und beim Berkshire Theater Festival in „Fräulein Julie“ neben Mark Feuerstein und Marin Hinkle. Später spielte sie erneut mit Feuerstein im Film „Knucklehead“ und mit Hinkle im Stück „Measure for Measure“.

Sie zog schließlich in den Westen, nachdem sie für „Love’s Labor Lost“ am Old Globe Theater in San Diego unter der Regie von Roger Reese besetzt wurde. Sie machte einen Abstecher nach Los Angeles, und ihr erstes Vorsprechen war für „E.R.“, die Rolle bekam sie jedoch nicht. Doch Produzent John Wells holte sie am nächsten Tag zurück, um für Aaron Sorkins neue Serie „The West Wing“ vorzulesen. Creskoff wurde für eine große Gastrolle an der Seite von Rob Lowe und Jamie Denton in der ersten Folge der zweiten Staffel dieser gefeierten Erfolgsserie besetzt.

Es folgten zahlreiche Gastauftritte und bedeutende wiederkehrende Rollen in „The Practice“, „Justified“, „Bates Motel“, „Parenthood“, „Mad Men“, „The New Adventures of Old Christine“, „Girlfriends“, „Desperate Housewives“, „Party Down“, „How I Met Your Mother“, „Justified“, „Curb Your Enthusiasm“ und als Mutter der Jonas Brothers, unter anderem.

In the third of the six films, "Yesterday's Tomorrows," filmmaker Barry Levinson delves into what we, as Americans, thought the future would be as we traveled through the 20th century. Houses and cars of the future, the promise of technology, and the other hopes and dreams of the early part of the century gave way to the fears and anxieties brought about by the atomic age and the Hollywood disaster films that followed. Soon we wondered if we could control technology, or if it would control us. This film is by turns light-hearted and thoughtful, and rare historical and archival film, produced by government and industry, alternates with on-screen interviews with people as diverse as consumer advocate Ralph Nader, cartoonist Matt Groening, futurist Alvin Toffler, comedienne Phyllis Diller, and actor Martin Mull.
