JULIA MCILVAINE
I have been an actress for most of my life. I grew up lucky in the New York theatre, and came to LA with my family at 13. I graduated from USC in 2009. These days, I am thoroughly enjoying a blooming career in voice over, and producing my first feature film! Looking forward to being able to share more detail on that soon. I live up in the mountains with my husband Ray, dogs Milo and Stella, lots of books and some very curious black bears.
I've been a series regular and a guest star for shows on CBS, FOX, ABC, and Showtime.

- "An amazing perspective. This is very clever and hugely entertaining. Standing ovation. Gob-smacked audience." Tom Staveley

Press
The acting from both Cronin and McIlvaine is the real reason to see this performance – McIlvaine’s anguish and yearning for her dead child is hauntingly beautiful to watch.
