Minka Kelly/Lyla Garrity #2: Because she's the reason we go to church

[Marissa]

Welcome to the second
Minka/Lyla Appreciation Thread

http://img179.imageshack.us/img179/6371/minkalylathreadyz1.png
As a talented young actress, Minka Kelly provides powerful performances and has a natural ease on both the small and big screens.

Currently, Kelly stars as the spirited and conflicted cheerleader Lyla Garrity on NBC's critically acclaimed series "Friday Night Lights."

Upcoming on the big screen, Kelly re-teams with "Friday Night Lights" creator Peter Berg in the drama "The Kingdom." Directed by Berg, the film stars Jamie Foxx and Jennifer Garner. Universal Pictures is due to release the film in September 2007.

Kelly's additional television credits include guest-starring roles on "Cracking Up," "American Dreams," and "Drake and Josh" as well as a recurring role on the hit series "What I Like About You," opposite Amanda Bynes and Jennie Garth.

Kelly currently resides in Austin, Texas and Los Angeles.
