A role that slipped away
Pill played April on In Treatment. She took over a part in Jack & Diane from Elliot Page in 2009, but the project was delayed, so by the time it came out in 2012 neither of them was in it.
First role
After appearing in two more television movies, Pill got her first feature film part in 1999, a small role in a small-budget Canadian movie called The Life Before This.
Behind the award
Pill took a lead role in The Dinosaur Hunter, a Canadian film. It was meant for a dinosaur museum and a provincial education channel, but it reached the Burbank International Film Festival and won her a Best Child Actress award.
First role
The first entry in Pill's theater credentials came from a Manhattan, New York staging of None of the Above, which marked her move into stage acting.
