Kelly Lynch received early praise (and the first of two Independent Spirit Award nominations) as "Dianne", Matt Dillon’s strung-out girlfriend in Gus Van Sant’s brilliant Drugstore Cowboy. Lynch’s range is dazzling—from the sleek villainess in the first Charlie’s Angels to Thora Birch’s doomed, schizophrenic mother in the Emmy-nominated television movie Homeless to Harvard, to Mickey Rourke’s corrupt lover in Michael Cimino’s Desperate Hours. Perhaps her most remarkable transformation was as "Ivan Aycock", the gender-bending, courtly drag king in the groundbreaking hit Showtime series The L Word.

Good-natured but a bit of a smart-ass because he’s Harvard bound, Jerome is Hodges’ neighbor; he mows Hodges’ lawn and also helps Hodges with all things computer-related, which ultimately sucks him into the dark vortex that is the Mercedes killer.
