Catch Lili Reinhart on ‘Law & Order: SVU’ tonight!

Lili Reinhart, who plays the title character in Lilith, will be making her prime time debut on tonight’s Law & Order: SVU. Lili’s had quite a year, starring in four feature films - Gibsonburg, a true story about an underdog baseball team that defies the odds to win a state championship, Not Waving But Drowning, a coming-of-age drama that has been tipped as a strong contender for Sundance, Forever’s End, an apocalyptic memory poem by director J.C. Schroder that looks beautiful and haunting, and of course Lilith. She also signed with an agent at the prestigious ICM talent agency, and now she’s going international with her major television debut.

A special talent.

Lili’s been working nonstop and her diligence is paying dividends, and equal credit goes to her tireless family for sacrificing their time and energies in supporting her talent and dreams. There’s truth in the adage that “it takes a village,” and the Reinharts are proof of it.

Lili is incredibly talented and when I auditioned her for Lilith, even though it was her first film, I knew this girl had something special, that “it” factor that everyone talks about but finds hard to quantify. On set she was a joy to work with, and she instinctively made adjustments in her performance that you just can’t teach. But in spite of this she remains a student of acting and film, and she can only improve on her already rock-solid foundation. She has tremendous promise.

I’m immensely proud of her and am glad that I got to be a small part of her journey as an artist. A journey that is only just beginning. All the best to her and her family, and please remember to show her some support on her Tumblr and Twitter feeds. Congrats, Lili!
