After debuting as the friend of Winona Ryder's character in the sentimental weepie Autumn in New York (2000), actress Liza Lapira landed bit parts in Tony Scott's feature Domino (2005); guest appearances on such series as Grey's Anatomy, Monk, and Law & Order; and recurring roles on such shows as Huff, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, and NCIS. In 2008, Lapira ascended to supporting billing with a plum role as MIT student-turned-gambler Kianna in Robert Luketic's thriller 21. ~ Nathan Southern, All Movie Guide
