Tracee Chimo is an American stage and film actress, who became an arts critic favorite after her 2012 breakout role as Daphna, the antagonist in Joshua Harmon?s dark comedy, Bad Jews. She is known for her versatility, as is evidenced by her ability to transform her physical appearance to suit the needs of her character. It has been suggested that her early training as a dancer contributed to Chimo's understanding of how physical changes affect how others perceive a character, as well as how they evidence the individual's inner life. Chimo was born in Saugus, Massachusetts. Her father is of Albanian descent and her mother is of Irish and Italian ancestry. She splits her time between living in Los Angeles and New York City.
