Catherine Keener is an actress with an innate ability to be both a potent force and a grounded presence in her films, whether comedy or drama. She most recently co-starred in Rebecca Miller's The Ballad of Jack and Rose, starring Daniel-Day Lewis, which premiered at the 2005 Sundance Film Festival, and Sydney Pollack's political thriller The Interpreter, with Sean Penn and Nicole Kidman.
She will next appear in United Artists' Capote, starring Philip Seymour Hoffman, and in Nicole Holofcener's Friends with Money, opposite Jennifer Aniston, Frances McDormand and Joan Cusack. The project marks her third outing with Holofcener; they previously collaborated on Walking and Talking and Lovely & Amazing, for which Keener received a nomination for a 2003 Independent Spirit Award for Best Actress.
Keener received an Academy Award® nomination for Best Supporting Actress for her performance in Spike Jonze's Being John Malkovich. Her diverse roster of film credits include Jonze's Adaptation, Andrew Niccol's S1m0ne, Steven Soderbergh's Full Frontal and Out of Sight, Danny DeVito's Death to Smoochy, Neil LaBute's Your Friends & Neighbors and the screen adaptation of Sam Shepard's Simpatico. She also appeared in four films by Tom DiCillo: Johnny Suede, Living in Oblivion, Box of Moonlight and The Real Blonde.
For television, Keener co-starred in HBO's critically acclaimed anthology If These Walls Could Talk, directed by Nancy Savoca, and made a notable guest appearance on Seinfeld.
