Michaela Quinn
- Actress
- Writer
Michaela Quinn is an American actress, singer, and comedian and writer. Michaela always knew she wanted to be an actress and comedian when she was a kid, and frequently wrote and directed many plays with her girlfriends as a young girl. Her interest in the arts further peaked when she got cast in her high school play 'Crazy for You' as Lottie Childs, the Jewish mother of the play's main character, Bobby Childs. Michaela loves to do many characters, voices, and impressions and her depiction of the typical 'Jewish Mother' in Gershwin's musical 'Crazy For You', had the crowd in stitches. Much to the dismay of her soccer coach and academic advisors at a boarding school Michaela attended, Michaela decided to expedite her studies online, and left to move to New York at age 17 to pursue a career in acting. She entered into New York Film Academy's 'Acting for Film' school and studied intensively for 8 months with many of NYFA's accomplished teachers. Though Michaela wanted to begin auditioning right away, her parents urged her to get a degree. Since Michaela wanted to stay in New York and continue her acting studies, she auditioned for Fordham University Lincoln Center's Acting program and was accepted in the Fall of 2006, as one of twenty lucky students in a pool of over 1,000 applicants. Michaela's work can now be seen on several TV shows in LA & NY, and she can be seen nightly performing live comedy.
