Elizabeth Jean
"Busy" Philipps (born June 25, 1979, in Oak
Park, Illinois) is a film actress known for a starring
role in the acclaimed 2002 film Home Room, and
supporting roles in the 2004 Wayans brothers film White
Chicks, and on the TV series' Freaks and Geeks and
Dawson's Creek.
She appeared on the UPN sitcom Love, Inc., in a role
originally intended for Shannen Doherty. The show lasted
for one season (2005-2006) before being canceled. Since
fall 2006, she has had a major recurring role as Hope on
ER.
Her parents gave her the nickname Busy because, as an
infant, she was always moving, and the nickname stuck;
it even appears on her driver's license. She attended
Chaparral High School in Scottsdale, Arizona, where she
was taught by high-school theatre teacher Deborah
Carrick. She attended Loyola Marymount University at the
same time as Colin Hanks and Linda Cardellini (her
Freaks and Geeks and ER costar). She worked the toy-fair
circuit as a real-life Barbie before making her
show-business debut.
Pretty blonde actress Busy Philipps started her career
with strong performances as enjoyably uncompromising
characters on "Freaks and Geeks" (NBC) and
"Dawson's Creek" (The WB). Raised in
Scottsdale, Arizona, Philipps (born Elizabeth but dubbed
Busy in her infancy) made her acting debut as Wilbur the
pig in her third grade production of "Charlotte's
Web". Thrilled with the experience, she went on to
perform in Scottsdale community theater. At age
seventeen, the actress took her first role away from
home, hired by Mattel to play Barbie at New York City's
Toy Fair.
Having completed a summer course at the Oxford School of
Drama, she produced two of her own plays at the Actors
Lab of Arizona and was cast on "Freaks and
Geeks" (1999-2000), playing tough girl freak Kim
Kelly, girlfriend of heartthrob Daniel (James Franco)
and best friend by default of former good girl Lindsey
(Linda Cardellini). Philipps helped to flesh out the at
times cartoonish character, balancing her crudeness with
guile and her anger with fear.
When the script delved into Kim's troubled home life,
the actress handled the emotionally challenging scenes
with marked skill and grace. Though the show was a
critics' favorite, it met with an early demise in 2000.
Philipps kept busy with turns in the MTV TV-movies
"Anatomy of a Hate Crime" and "I'm a
Spring Break Lawyer" (both 2001), the first a
hard-hitting look at the murder of Matthew Shepard and
the second a far fluffier piece about the antics of
vacationing co-eds. She also added a guest role on the
short-lived series "Dead Last" (The WB) to her
resume before joining the network later that year as a
recurring cast member on "Dawson's Creek"
(2001-2003).
Here she played Audrey, the outgoing and seemingly
oversexed roommate of college freshman Joey (Katie
Holmes). Not only did Philipps excel in the role, she
served both the series and its audience by offering a
fresh, positive counterpoint to Joey's increasingly
downbeat and overly intellectual persona.
After a few outings in forgettable B films, Phillips
resurfaced in the Wayans brothers' "White
Chicks" (2004) as one of the clueless socialite
pals of the Wilson sisters, the heiresses the Wayans are
disguised as.
Philipps is godmother to Dawson's co-star Michelle
Williams' and Heath Ledger's daughter Matilda Rose, born
in 2005. She was ranked #58 on the Maxim Hot 100 Women
of 2001.
