Tony Nominee Cristin Milioti Set for SAG Foundation's Conversations Series

The Screen Actors Guild Foundation will welcome Tony nominee Cristin Milioti for a Conversations event for her new NBC television comedy A TO Z, followed by a Q&A. The event is slated for Wednesday, October 1st, 2014 at 1pm at NYIT-Auditorium on Broadway.

"A to Z" tells the story of Andrew (Ben Feldman, "Mad Men," "The Mindy Project") and Zelda (Cristin Milioti, "The Wolf of Wall Street," "How I Met Your Mother) - a pair that almost wasn't - and all that happened from the day they met.

Andrew Lofland, while a guy's guy, has always been a secret romantic... not above crooning to Celine Dion while driving to work, with dreams of finding "the one." He imagines her to be just like that shimmering beauty he spotted that night in that silver dress at that concert two years ago. Zelda Vasco is a no-nonsense lawyer who has strong feelings about being her own person and prefers the control of online dating. However, when a computer glitch sends her a total mismatch, she's asked to come in for an interview at Wallflower Online Dating, the agency where Andrew works.

Andrew and Zelda will date for eight months, three weeks, five days and one hour. This program is a comprehensive account of their relationship - from "A to Z."

Milioti is a triple threat starring on stage, film, and television. She has been nominated for a Tony Award, won a Grammy Award, and was part of the Oscar nominated cast of THE WOLF OF WALL STREET.

Cristin recently starred in Martin Scorsese's THE WOLF OF WALL STREET as Leonardo DiCaprio's first wife, Teresa Petrillo. The film was released by Paramount and has made over $392 million worldwide.
