BRITT LOWER continues to see her career flourish after many years of cutting her craft. She has won several accolades for her work as Helly R. in Apple TV+ series SEVERANCE, and just was nominated for a Canadian Screen Award for her performance in DARKEST MIRIAM (filmed in Toronto).
She’s back in the City again working on upcoming Netflix series I WILL FIND YOU, in which she stars alongside Sam Worthington and Milo Ventimiglia. The eight-episode Mini-Series centers on a man (Worthington) wrongly-convicted of killing his son. This is expected to film around town through August. Lower plays a journalist of former glory, looking to reclaim her career, landing upon a groundbreaking lead that could relaunch her career.
While we missed Lower at the Screen Awards this past weekend, she was attending the Gotham Awards in New York, we spotted her filming. She is the kindest soul ever, stopping for a quick hello and a snap between scenes. Adore her!
Was amazing seeing her and the amazing and almost unrecognizable Ventimiglia (This is Us, Gilmore Girls) between scenes!
