New York City-born Erin Moriarty launched her acting career in a most auspicious manner, commencing with an awards-recognized project that many aspiring performers can only dream of. Her inaugural foray onto the screen occurred in 2010, when she made a notable appearance in the Emmy-nominated soap opera One Life to Live (1968),portraying the character Whitney Bennett in six episodes.
In 2011, she further bolstered her television credentials with a guest role in an episode of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit (1999). The subsequent year, Erin secured a small yet significant part in her inaugural feature film, acting alongside Ben Stiller, Vince Vaughn, and Jonah Hill in the science fiction comedy The Watch (2012).
In 2013, she took on another supporting role in a movie, featuring in the coming-of-age drama The Kings of Summer (2013),which follows three teenagers who devise a plan to distance themselves from their parents and live off the land in a house they have constructed. Portraying Natalie Walraven, the daughter of Radha Mitchell's character, Erin also worked on the 2013 television series Red Widow (2013).
She continued her television work in 2014, playing the daughter of Woody Harrelson's rugged character Marty Hart in the first season of the Emmy-winning and Golden Globe-nominated True Detective (2014),requiring her to appear in three episodes. Since the show concluded, Erin has stated that playing a Goth was "fun... because it's the opposite of how I present myself, and is the opposite of any role I'd been considered for."
In 2015, Erin secured a recurring guest role on the hit Netflix crime action series Jessica Jones (2015). In 2016's Captain Fantastic (2016),starring Viggo Mortensen, she played the supporting role of Claire in the film festival favorite about the changing dynamics of a unique family. Erin followed this up with the action thriller Blood Father (2016),starring Mel Gibson and William H. Macy.
She went on to play a starring role as Kelly in the biopic The Miracle Season (2018) (2018),alongside Helen Hunt. As of 2019, she is co-starring in Amazon Prime's 'The Boys'.
