Erin Moriarty (born June 24, 1994[1][2]) is an American actress. She has had recurring roles on the television series One Life to Live and True Detective, was a series regular on Red Widow and Jessica Jones, and has appeared in supporting roles in several films. As of 2019, Moriarty is part of the main cast of Amazon Prime Video's original series The Boys based on the comic book series of the same name, playing Annie January / Starlight.

Early life

She was born and raised in New York City, New York.[3] Moriarty began acting as young as 11 years old, starring as Annie in a 2005 community theater production of Annie Get Your Gun.[4][5] Upon graduation from high school, she deferred attending college to act.[3]

Career

Moriarty's first roles were in The Kings of Summer;[6][7] The Watch (as Vince Vaughn's daughter);[8] and Red Widow.[1] She had a recurring role on season 1 of True Detective as Audrey Hart,[9] the problem child of Woody Harrelson's character.[10] She appeared in Blood Father, a 2016 film starring Mel Gibson.[11] Her role as Gibson's daughter in Blood Father received praise from critics such as Manohla Dargis of The New York Times,[12] Alonso Duralde of TheWrap,[13] and Owen Gleiberman of Variety,[14] but Ignatiy Vishnevetsky of The A.V. Club felt she was unconvincing[15] and Allen Salkin of the New York Daily News felt she was overshadowed by the likes of Gibson and William H. Macy.[16] In September 2014, Erin Moriarty was named one of the best actors under twenty years of age by IndieWire.[17] In Captain Fantastic, she plays the love interest of George MacKay's character.[18] In season one of Jessica Jones, Moriarty played a college student with a difficult life.[19]

In June 2016, she was cast in the LD Entertainment feature film The Miracle Season along with Danika Yarosh and Helen Hunt.[10]

In December 2017, she was cast as Annie January / Starlight in The Boys, Amazon Studios adaptation of Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson's comic book of the same name.[20] The series was released July 2019, and was renewed for a second season.[21] In 2019, Moriarty also had a starring role in the film Driven about the sting operation which brought down auto mogul John DeLorean.
