Jillian Reeves de Ortiz was born in Irmo, South Carolina. A handful since she was a child, she officially began acting in college at the University of South Carolina. After four years and almost a dozen plays she graduated with a Bachelors Degree in Theater.

Upon graduation she moved to Chicago, Illinois in pursue her MFA in Acting at Roosevelt University. However, a few months after arriving to Chicago she got an agent and landed her first two theater roles, it was at this time she decided to forgo the MFA at go into acting head .. a few years and numerous plays (including Jeff Award winning Around the World in 80 Days, Camino Real directed Henry Godinez of the Goodman Theater, Heat, Sylvia and Rabbits Foot to name a few), commercials, industrials and inde films (including, The Evil One, 12th Night, and If I Wuz Yo Girl) she decided leave Chicago and make the voyage to Los Angeles, CA.

After being in Los Angeles just shy of two years, Jillian is making quite a name for herself. Just a few weeks after her arrival to L.A. she landed a huge supporting role in the film Coupled with Love and the lead in the film Limp, which has enjoyed major success on the film festival circuit. Her next major feat was winning the nationally televised acting competition "Fight for Fame" on the E! Network, from which she landed her first agent in LA as well as her first National commercial since moving to LA!

Let's Talk has also enjoyed major success on the film festival circuit (including the Toronto International Film Festival among others) and is also part of BET's touring Rap-It-Up Campaign geared toward HIV/AIDS prevention especially in African-American youth.

Currently, Jillian is filming her new recurring role on the hit CBS series CSI: Miami. Look for her episodes in February 2007!!
