Born in Texas and raised in Tennessee, Missi Pyle attended the North Carolina School of the Arts and moved to New York after her graduation to pursue a career in theatre. While there, Pyle continued working in Off-Broadway theatre where she performed opposite John Malkovich in Steppenwolf Theater Company's "The Libertine." She soon made her film debut opposite Helen Hunt in "As Good As It Gets" and moved on to land major roles in television and feature films.

Pyle's film credits include 2012’s Academy Award winner for Best Picture “The Artist,” "Spring Breakdown" with Amy Poehler, Amber Tamblyn, and Rachel Dratch, "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory," "Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story," "Big Fish," "Bringing Down the House," "Feast of Love," and "Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy." Pyle gained attention for her hilarious portrayal of the alien "Laliari" in "Galaxy Quest" with Tim Allen, Sigourney Weaver, and Tony Shalhoub." Pyle's resume also includes a number of notable television appearances, including a recurring role on "The Sarah Silverman Program," “Up All Night,” “S**t My Dad Says,” "Two and a Half Men," and "Friends" to name a few. In fact, David E. Kelley became so taken with Missi as a result of her work in an episode of “Boston Legal” that he crafted a role in his later series “The Wedding Bells” with her in mind.

When she’s not lighting up the big or small screens Pyle is working on her music and performing with her band. She released a debut album titled “It’s Okay to Be Happy” with her band Smith & Pyle before hitting the road with her solo show “Sexy as Hell” which had sold out performances at Joe’s Pub in New York, as well as several venues in Los Angeles. She’s currently working on another album with her new group The Nice Ladies.

Missi Pyle received a lot of buzz for her flashy role in “Gone Girl” opposite Rosamund Pike and Ben Affleck. She is next due to appear with Viggo Mortensen in the feature “Captain Fantastic” which had its debut at the 2016 Sundance Film Festival. She stars opposite Penn Jillette in the upcoming DIRECTOR'S CUT, in which she plays herself as an actress starring in a police drama who is abducted by a crazed fan who makes her "re-shoot" the film according to his creative vision. The film debuted at this year's Slamdance Film Festival.
