Alia Shawkat

Arrested Development’s Alia Shawkat became an INARA celebrity ambassador in September 2019.

Alia is perhaps best known for her role as Maeby Fünke in Arrested Development. On television, she stars in TBS’ breakout hit genre-bending mystery comedy Search Party. Shawkat was most recently seen starring opposite Holliday Grainger in the independent drama Animals. In 2018, she starred in the independent film Duck Butter, which she co-wrote with Miguel Arteta and executive produced alongside Arteta and the Duplass Brothers. Last year, she also starred opposite songwriter and musician Ben Dickey in the indie biopic Blaze. The film, directed by Ethan Hawke, tells the story of country and western songwriter Blaze Foley.
