About Meryl

She/Her

As an actress I got my start professionally in comedic national commercials, soon after appearing in videos for Funny or Die, College Humor and UCB Comedy. I’m perhaps best known as playing Brittany, Eleanor's roommate, in Mike Schur’s hit "The Good Place", as Andie Tate in the return of HBO's iconic "The Comeback" opposite Lisa Kudrow, and as Tovah Freedman on Season 18 of “Grey’s Anatomy”.

I have performed live improv and scripted comedy alongside Steve Carrell, Eliza Dushku, Alan Tudyk, Rob Delaney, Michael Ian Black, Andy Buckley, Shaquille O’Neil, Mayim Bialik and more. I’ve also guest starred on many comedy and drama network shows, including "This Is Us", "9-1-1", "For the People", "2 Broke Girls", "Bunk'd" and others, notably recurring as Millie in Cody Heller and Brett Konner’s "Deadbeat" on Hulu.

I wrote and produced several web series projects, in addition to my SAG short film, "It's Your Call" opposite friend Tyler Labine (New Amsterdam, Reaper, Dirk Gently, Deadbeat), which now has over 350,000 views on Omeletto’s Youtube channel, and was selected for the Oscar qualifying Palm Springs ShortFest and Hollyshorts festivals in 2019.

I then took my creative energy to the podcast space, independently producing and hosting a variety of shows; from TV show breakdowns (“Button Pushers”) to branded interviews on the entrepreneurial journey (“MarketPlay”) to authentic conversations around medical issues (“The Lemon Grove Podcast”).

I’m also a writer, teacher, painter, an avid nature lover, roller skater, greeting card designer and self-care coach. (www.LemonGroveWellness.com).
