Natasha Lyonne
Lyonne is an American stage, film, and television actress, best known for her roles in the American Pie films as the wisecracking Jessica, and the Netflix series Orange Is the New Black as Nicky. Recently nominated for a 2014 Primetime Emmy® Award for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series, Lyonne has appeared in over 30 films since being cast by Woody Allen in Everyone Says I Love You at the age of 16. In the fourth season of GIRLS, Lyonne guest stars as a character called Rickey.
Rita Wilson
This brilliantly talented American actress, singer and producer is known mainly for the films Sleepless in Seattle, Jingle All the Way, and Runaway Bride. Wilson was famously responsible for bringing My Big Fat Greek Wedding to the big screen as a producer. Married to Tom Hanks since 1988, Wilson convinced Hanks to set up the film at his company, and it became the highest-grossing independent film of all time. In the fourth season of GIRLS, Wilson continues to play the role of Marnie’s uninhibited ‘stage’ mother Evie Michaels. Hilariously, when she goes to see Marnie’s first public gig at the Jazz Brunch, Evie effortlessly mouths along to every single lyric that pours forth from her beloved offspring’s lips. In addition to GIRLS, Wilson has guest starred in Frasier, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, The Good Wife and Body of Proof.

Quinto guest stars in the fourth season of GIRLS alongside Lena Dunham.
Ana Gasteyer
