Bitsie Tulloch stars as Dylan on NBC's newest drama series, "quarterlife." First made as an Internet series, "quarterlife" explores the lives of six creative twentysomethings trying to find their way in the world. Tulloch leads the cast as a journalist who perplexes friends with her revelatory video blog.

Tulloch recently completed a supporting role in the Neil LaBute film "Lakeview Terrace," in which she will appear opposite Samuel L. Jackson, Kerry Washington and Patrick Wilson. Additional film credits include "Vacuuming the Cat" with Barbara Hershey and Ron Perlman, "Antigone" opposite Keith Carradine, and "Life is Short."

Tulloch's television credits include roles on "The West Wing," "Moonlight," "Cold Case" and "Lost." She also had a recurring role in the online serial "lonelygirl15."

Tulloch's theater credits include performances of "Oleanna," "Hamlet" and "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?," as well as the Pico Playhouse production of "Quarterlife," a performance that garnered her a LA Weekly Theater Award nomination. It was during the run of the latter play (which is actually completely unrelated to the series "quarterlife") that Marshall Herskovitz discovered Tulloch and began the process that eventually led to her being cast as the lead in his online drama series.

Born in San Diego, Calif., Tulloch spent her formative years living overseas in Spain, Uruguay and Argentina until she landed in New York for middle and high school. She attended Harvard University and graduated magna cum laude with a double major in literature and fine arts.

Tulloch's first professional acting job came about during a trip to Sydney just before her sophomore year in college. She was cast as R2D2's girlfriend in "R2D2 - Beneath the Dome," a mockumentary written and produced by George Lucas. The reactions to her performance in the film ignited her passion for acting and propelled her to move to Los Angeles, after graduating from Harvard, to pursue her craft full time.

Tulloch is an active participant with the Corazon de Vida Foundation, through which she fundraises and visits orphanages in Tijuana, Mexico. She lives in Los Angeles.
