AGE: 32 PROVENANCE: Columbia, South Carolina, PLAYING HER PART: After earning a B.F.A.from the North Carolina School of the Arts, Camp joined the New York theater circuit and had parts in Equus and The Country Girl, the latter directed by Mike Nichols. "He saw me in an Off Off Broadway play, so everything I've ever gotten was from God Hates the Irish, this weird musical that apparently everyone came to see." RIDING HIGH: Camp's cinematic break was in box-office smash Pitch Perfect, about an underdog female singing group. She reprises her role in Pitch Perfect 2, next month. KEY NOTE: On Elizabeth Banks, director-producer of Pitch Perfect 2: "She pushes you and makes you laugh and you can't be afraid of falling on your ass when you're around her." PARENTAL CONSENT: "I have done a lot of 'risque' things onstage. They've seen me naked in Equus, and at this point there is nothing I do that shocks them." GONE WITH THE FILM: Steel Magnolias is one of her favorite films. "That term is perfect for a southern belle. My mother is someone who is so charming and lovely, but there is something tough as nails on the inside." FAST FORWARD: Camp, who was a series regular on True Blood and appeared in The Help, says, "My main goal in this business is to remain true to my art, but also to have fun, and grow, and learn constantly."
