About Briga Heelan
Briga Heelan is an American actress. She is known for her work on the sitcoms Cougar Town, Ground Floor,
Heelan intended to focus on musical theatre. She met her Ground Floor co-star, Skylar Astin, at a musical theatre convention.
Heelan's break-out TV role was on Cougar Town. She was credited as a recurring character on Undateable, appearing in three episodes plus the pilot. She was able to shoot both Bill Lawrence-helmed Ground Floor and Undateable simultaneously because both comedies are multi-camera, which require fewer production days than single-camera shows.
She also guest starred in the first episode of Season 10 of Curb Your Enthusiasm.
Regarding Heelan's role in Ground Floor, TV critic Alan Sepinwall said Heelan is "simply terrific as Jenny: warm and quirky while always feeling like a strong and independent character". The Los Angeles Times said Heelan "makes Ground Floor watchable", describing her as "remarkably alive and in the moment; she makes real all that she touches. I could easily recommend tuning in just to watch her work – and hereby do."
