ABBY HARALSON

I know what you're thinking, "Ugh, not another cute blonde," but trust me when I say I’m not your basic girl next door. I'm that high-energy, fearless friend who dives face-first into the crowd knowing that someone will catch me before I hit the ground. I'm that actor who works hard for a laugh and even harder to evoke genuine emotion and empathy from the audience. If you take the vulnerable charm and emotional depth of Amy Adams and pair it with the spontaneity, and physical comedy of a young Carol Burnett, you've described me!  

 

A few years ago, I left my southern roots in Texas and moved to California to study screen acting at Chapman University. May 2022, I received my degree and moved swiftly to LA to pursue my acting career. In just 6 short months, I was cast as the lead in the indie rom-com feature film, "No Reception," and voiced anime for Sentai Filmworks. I also gained representation with Chondra Profit-Ardrey at FireStarter Entertainment, the best agent a girl could ask for!

 

Between auditioning, performing, and attending improv training at the Groundlings, I have continued to expand my career as a casting professional. In the past two and a half years, I’ve assisted Rusell Boast in casting over 20 films, giving me incredible insight into auditioning, and I’ve rather enjoyed gaining a vast network of casting director colleagues. 

 

I love working and collaborating on new artistic endeavors, and I'm always ready to roll up my sleeves and get my hands dirty. I'm also looking for the best barbeque in LA so please send me any recs that you have!
