Biografia
Born in Sugarland, Texas, Tolman earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in theatrical performance from Baylor University. After graduation, she moved to Dallas where she helped found and foster the independent ensemble based non-profit Second Thought Theatre while also learning that the whole being an adult thing is like, super hard. In 2009, she was accepted into Second City's Conservatory Training Program and later went on to write and perform sketch and satire with several groups throughout Chicago, most notably the monthly comedy podcast The City Life Supplement.
Allison Tolman was discovered in Chicago and cast as a series regular on the hit FX crime dramedy Fargo. Tolman starred as Molly Solverson, the folksy and intelligent police officer on the trail of the sinister Lorne Malvo, portrayed by Billy Bob Thornton. For her work on the show, Tolman won a Critics' Choice Television Award and was nominated for Primetime Emmy and Golden Globe awards for Best Supporting Actress in a Movie or Mini-series.
Tolman's other television credits include a recurring role on Fox's The Mindy Project, and guest starring roles in the series finale of HBO's Hello Ladies, Comedy Central's Review and FX's Archer. Her most recent films include the indie comedy feature Addicted to Fresno, which also starred Natasha Lyonne, Judy Greer and Fred Armisen, and The Gift, which also starred Jason Bateman, Rebecca Hall and Joel Edgerton. Tolman appeared in Will Ferrell's and Amy Poehler's comedy The House and had a guest starring role on the Amazon series, Mad Dogs.
Throughout her career, Tolman has played a veterinary receptionist, personal assistant, children's theater teacher, vocal coach, phone sales associate, client services representative and dog walker–never on film, but in her actual life in order to pay her rent and be able to afford more tank tops from Target than any human actually needs.
