Erin Jessica Cahill (born January 4, 1980) is an American actress best known for her roles as Jen Scotts in Power Rangers Time Force, Heather Mosby in How I Met Your Mother, and Kendra Burke in Saving Grace. In 2013, Cahill plays the recurring role of Felicity in ABC's Red Widow.
Cahill is also noted to be the first lead female character for the Call of Duty franchise, as Chloe 'Karma' Lynch in Call of Duty: Black Ops II.
In March 2013, Cahill was cast as Rachel in Delirium,[1] a pilot based on Lauren Oliver's
popular young adult books. FOX's Broadcasting Company passed on the
pilot, however, this exposed Cahill to a wider, dedicated fanbase.
Early life
Cahill was born in Stafford, Virginia.
She began acting in her mother's local high school productions at age
4, and started singing and dancing lessons at age 8. Cahill was Miss
Pre-Teen Virginia in 1991 and the first runner-up for Miss Junior
America. She continued to act into her high school years at Brooke Point High School,
where she served as the president of many clubs, including the Honor
Thespians group. As a junior, Cahill was the only one of her year to
garner perfect scores in all phases of her audition to the Governor's School for the Arts
in drama. At age 16, she also won Overall Actor in the Actors, Models,
Talent for Christ competition. Cahill was further selected into the
Barton and Williams Dance Company, winning both company and individual
awards. Following high school graduation in 1998, Cahill attended Marymount Manhattan College
in New York on an academic and performing arts scholarship. She left
college at age 19 to pursue a full-time acting career in Los Angeles,
California.
Career
Upon arriving to Los Angeles in 2000, Cahill was quickly cast as Jen Scotts, the Pink Ranger, in Power Rangers Time Force. She started her guest-starring roles in 2003 with Crossing Jordan and General Hospital. In 2006, Cahill starred on the short-lived FOX series Free Ride,
as a series regular and female lead. Her first big guest star came the
following year in 2007 as a 20th century suffragette in the Cold Case episode, "Torn".
Since then, Cahill has worked in numerous film and television productions such as Supernatural, CSI: Miami, The Mentalist, Castle, Ghost Whisperer, Grey's Anatomy, and House. She has done commercials for Bank of America, TJ Maxx, Hyundai, Applebee's, Tampax, and Lean Cuisine. Cahill's most recent work includes short film The Ventriloquist, produced by and starring Kevin Spacey; voice and motion-capture credits as Chloe 'Karma' Lynch in Call of Duty: Black Ops II; and a recurring role as Felicity in ABC's Red Widow.
