Actress Jen Ponton is a comedic force, consistently serving up big laughs on screen. A Muppet enthusiast, horror fanatic, and body love activist, Jen's work has been profiled in Women and Hollywood, Refinery29, Bustle, The Mary Sue, and many more. Most commonly recognized for her work on Tina Fey's "30 Rock" and "The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt," Jen has also garnered acclaim for her guest starring roles in the comedies "Deadbeat" and "Orange is the New Black." This talented actress equally delivers when it comes to dramas, guest-starring on "The Blacklist," "Blue Bloods," "Boardwalk Empire," "Law & Order: SVU," "The Slap," and "The Good Wife." A proud member of the Television Academy, Jen is also a writer, serving as the co-creator and star of the comedy series "The Weirdos Next Door". On the festival circuit, Jen has appeared in feature films that have graced Sundance, Tribeca and SXSW. She notably stars in the film "Love on the Run," directed by Ash Christian (Petunia). She is the guileless Franny, who's suffering from a severe case of Stockholm syndrome as the hostage of hunky Rick (Steve Howey), while her dysfunctional family (Frances Fisher, Annaleigh Ashford) heads off in search of her. This dark road comedy, reminiscent of John Waters and "The Big Lebowski," is available on iTunes and Amazon. Two more films, Zach Braff's "Going in Style" and Liev Schreiber's "Chuck," released in 2017. This Jersey tomato of a gal graduated with a BA in Theatre from Ramapo College of New Jersey and went on to work in New York and regional theatre. She memorably tickled audiences and broke hearts off-Broadway in Halley Feiffer's pitch-black play "How to Make Friends and Then Kill Them" (Rattlestick Playwrights Theater). Like most good New Jerseyans, Jen has never left. Raised as an only child in ultra-rural Warren County amongst corn, cows, and little else, she considers herself a country girl at heart. She married her college sweetheart and now lives in the woods of NJ with him and their very excited dog. - IMDb Mini Biography By: Jen Ponton
