April was played by Aubrey Plaza for the entirety of the 2009-2015 run of Parks and Recreation.
Three years before she took the role on the show, she was part of the NBC Page Program. She told Elle in 2017 that managers suggested she leave the program and she stole the uniform. She then accepted a low-level job in the casting department of NBC in New York, and wore the purloined uniform as an extra on the set of the sitcom 30 Rock.
Her most recent role was as Harper Spiller on Season 2 of White Lotus.
