Chances are you first laid eyes on former Verge designee Ari Graynor as a gum-snapping party girl in Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist , the breakout role that put the 28-year-old actress on Hollywood’s radar back in 2008. Since then, she’s continued to steal scenes in films like Youth in Revolt , Whip It , and Holy Rollers , but as she prepares for another big comedic year ahead of her (plus a run on Broadway), Graynor’s ready to take her next big leap — right into leading lady territory for the first time — in the indie black comedy Lucky .
