Carly's origin story began in San Diego, California, where she was born and raised within a large Italian-Irish family, boasting a notable lineage of professional baseball players, including her father, Rocky Craig, and younger brother, Casey Craig. Her family consists of one sister and two brothers.
This talented individual is widely recognized on the internet for her sidesplitting and unsettlingly edgy songs and improv pieces, with notable standouts being "The Daddy Song" and "Judy Garland Orgasm". Despite her extensive background in drama, studying at The Stella Adler Academy, a pivotal conversation with Dan Akroyd altered her trajectory, leading her to enroll at Second City, where she eventually graduated.
A chance encounter with renowned manager Bernie Brillstein while waiting tables prompted her to organize a comedy show with her classmates. Bernie's attendance at this show led to his subsequent signing of Carly as a client. Her breakthrough role came when director David Wain cast her in the film "Role Models" as the object of Seann William Scott's desire, marking the beginning of her illustrious career.
Notable projects followed, including Mike Leigh's critically acclaimed live show "Ecstasy", Neil LaBute's "Bash", the independent feature film "Star Sucker" alongside Tom Arnold, Rob Corddry's "Children's Hospital", and the Farrelly Brothers' "The Heartbreak Kid".
Carly most recently co-starred alongside Owen Wilson and Jason Sudeikis in the Farrelly Brothers' film "Hall Pass", showcasing her comedic prowess in a memorable bathroom scene with Jason, exemplifying the Farrellys' trademark slapstick humor. This standout performance earned her a spot as a "Vanities Girl" in the April 2011 edition of "Vanity Fair", joining the ranks of young ingenues like Kristen Bell, Leslie Mann, and Mila Kunis.
She will next be seen in the Farrellys' upcoming feature, "Three Stooges", playing the role of Mrs. Harter, the wife of Stephen Collins' character, as the couple sets out to adopt the Stooges. The film began production in May 2011.
