If there's one name that's been popping up on our radar a lot lately, it's Lizzy Caplan's. The American actress has been working for years, nailing role after role and slowly building up a seriously impressive Hollywood CV. After a breakout role in massive 2004 movie — do you know which one we're talking about?! — her star has steadily been on the rise. Throw in a famous boyfriend (you'll be surprised!) and some major upcoming roles, and you've got a bona fide star in the making. You'll want to be ahead of the pack when Lizzy becomes the name on everyone's lips, so get to know this cool lady with our five fast facts!

Elizabeth Anne Caplan — she goes by Lizzy Caplan professionally — is a 30-year-old actress who was born and raised in Los Angeles.

She's maintained a steady work load since she first appeared on screens in 2000. Over the years, she's appeared on or starred in movies and TV shows like Smallville, Cloverfield, Freaks and Geeks, True Blood, New Girl, 127 Hours and My Best Friend's Girl. . .

. . . But you probably know her best as Janis Ian from 2004's runaway hit Mean Girls, which co-starred Lindsay Lohan (left). No offence to Lindsay, but Lizzy kind of stole the show.

Can you say "under the radar"? Lizzy's been quietly dating Friends star Matthew Perry since way back in 2006. Cute!
