Erin Moriarty (born June 24, 1994) 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.
She was born and raised in New York City. Upon graduation from high school, she deferred attending college to act.
Among her first notable roles were in the center of a love triangle with Nick Robinson and Gabriel Basso in The Kings of Summer, in The Watch as Vince Vaughn's daughter, and in Red Widow. She had a recurring role on season 1 of True Detective as Audrey Hart, the problem child of Woody Harrelson's character. She appeared in Blood Father, a 2016 film starring Mel Gibson. Her role as Gibson's daughter in Blood Father received praise from critics such as Manohla Dargis of The New York Times, Alonso Duralde of TheWrap, and Owen Gleiberman of Variety, but Ignatiy Vishnevetsky of The A.V. Club felt she was unconvincing and Allen Salkin of the New York Daily News felt she was overshadowed by the likes of Gibson and William H. Macy. In September 2014, Erin Moriarty was named one of the best actors under twenty years of age by IndieWire. In Captain Fantastic, she plays the love interest of George MacKay's character. In season one, of Jessica Jones, Moriarty played the critical role of a college student with a difficult life.
