Lili Reinhart developed a passion for the performing arts at an early age. Lili took dance classes for 10 years and also performed in many local musicals before she signed with her first agency in Cleveland when she was 11. She traveled from Ohio to New York almost once a month for over a year to audition for numerous projects that she found on online casting websites. It was in New York where she met her manager, Dara Gordon, in 2011. After meeting Gordon, Lili soon signed with ICM. She later switched to UTA.
