Edi Patterson is one of those performers who commits so fully you forget you're watching someone act. Righteous Gemstones and Vice Principals fans need no introduction.


Alan witnessed her brilliance firsthand on Resident Alien, where she played the tallest, most beautiful, most unhinged avian alien in the universe. Their characters’ scenes had a way of going places no one planned, including one that should have been nominated for an MTV Best Kiss Award.


Nathan has his own evidence: Edi recently picked up a script she'd never seen, walked to center stage, and immediately developed a speech impediment.
