Jeannine Kaspar

Jeannine Kaspar is a fresh and exciting force taking Hollywood by storm. Born in Columbus, Georgia, Jeannine grew up in Durham, North Carolina as one of nine children. Jeannine got her big break starring in Freeheld (2015) opposite Steve Carell, Elliot Page and Julianne Moore. Kaspar's interest in acting stems from growing up watching Will Ferrell on Saturday Night Live (2005). After high school she studied Communication Media at North Carolina State University, but her initial love for acting persisted and pushed her to pursue it once she completed her degree. After booking several commercials she realized it was undoubtedly what she wanted to dedicate herself to. Kaspar made the decision to go to Los Angeles to pursue her career, which proved to be a great move. Her television credits include guest star appearances on NBC's Law & Order: Special Victims Unit (1999), USA's In Plain Sight (2008), and recurring spots on FX's Nip/Tuck (2003) and House of Lies (2012). On the big screen, Kaspar's credits include the blockbuster hit Iron Man (2008) (with Robert Downey Jr.), the indie feature Paper Covers Rock (2008) (which won many awards on the festival circuit, including Best Actress for Kaspar), and the thriller Hidden in the Woods (2014) (with William Forsythe). Kaspar stars in the drama Freeheld (2015) opposite an A-list cast including Julianne Moore, Steve Carell and Elliot Page. Freeheld is based on the true story and Academy Award-winning short documentary of the same name; it follows New Jersey police lieutenant Laurel Hester (Moore) and her registered domestic partner Stacie Andree (Page) as they both battle to secure Hester's pension benefits after she was diagnosed with terminal cancer. Kaspar has a leading role in Supermoto (2016), from Sam Bisbee and the team that brought us indie darling Infinitely Polar Bear (2014) with Zoe Saldana and Mark Ruffalo.
