Carrie Coon began her acting career onstage, performing with the Madison Repertory Theatre and the American Players Theatre, both in Wisconsin, U.S. Her big break came in 2010 with her portrayal of the character Honey in Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? at the Steppenwolf Theatre in Chicago; she was nominated for a Tony Award for her role in the Broadway production. Ellen Lewis, the casting director for HBO’s The Leftovers, saw Coon in the play on Broadway, leading to a successful audition and her casting as a primary character in the show.
