ABOUT KELLY

Kelly McLaughlin is a Meisner-trained actor as well as aerialist, dancer and writer based in Los Angeles. With a surprising arsenal of "apocalyptic and athletic skills," friends refer to her as “the person you want on your team in the zombie apocalypse.”

After graduating from Carnegie Mellon (Public Policy & Graphic Design), Kelly did the full-time grind working on the New York advertising circuit while working as a professional dancer and aerialist. After dipping her toes into acting with classes and improv, she decided to fully pursue her passion by joining the 2-year Acting program at Esper Studio in New York City.

While in New York, Kelly was lucky to work on some amazing projects, including a number of films doing the festival rounds (I Am Ana was selected for the Cannes Short Film Corner) and headlining an immersive dance theater show at the House of Yes. As a creator, she created short (short) horror films for Instagram with her project 1MinHorror, ran the Dixon Place script-incubator project TableReadNYC, and has brought many dance and aerial projects to NYC stages.

Described as Ellie Kemper meets Kathryn Hahn, or a young Tina Fey, she easily casts as the quirky girl-next-door, fast-talking over-achiever, compassionate caregiver and secret villain. In her free time, Kelly loves to hike, make pottery, play horror video games and volunteer with animals!
