[edit] Career
Camp played Jill Mason in the 2008 Broadway revival of Equus at the Broadhurst Theatre, which starred Daniel Radcliffe as Alan Strang. Speaking about the role, Camp said, "I had a lot of thought; I didn't even know if I was going to do Equus because of the nudity and because of the high profile [aspect] of it. But you only live once and you have to take those risks because you'll only be a better person or actor because of it."[2]
Camp appeared in Reinventing the Wheelers, a 2007 television pilot which was not ordered to series by ABC.[3] In 2008 she had a role in the pilot of the ABC television dramedy Cashmere Mafia.[4] She had a role as Sarah Newlin in the second season of the HBO supernatural drama series True Blood, which earned her a nomination for a SAG Award for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series; Camp had earlier auditioned for the role of Sookie Stackhouse.[2]
She has made guest appearances on The Office (2009, as the sister of Pam Beesly), Glee (2009), Numb3rs (2010), Covert Affairs (2010), and Mad Men (2010), as Don Draper's post-divorce love interest, Bethany Van Nuys.
Camp appeared in the music video for "Marry Me", a 2009 song by Train.[5]
In 2011, Camp starred in the premiere of All New People, a play written by Zach Braff and staged at Second Stage Theatre;[6] the production was directed by Peter DuBois and also starred Justin Bartha, David Wilson Barnes and Krysten Ritter.[7]
[edit] Personal life
Camp grew up in Columbia, South Carolina, attending Meadowfield Elementary School and Dreher High School.[8] She graduated from the University of North Carolina School of the Arts with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in 2004.[8][9] She moved to New York City shortly thereafter.[10]
