CECILY BEDNAR SCHMIDT

Born and raised in Oakland, California, I now live and work in London. I have a range of experience - from musical theatre to Shakespeare to stand-up comedy - but my passion is acting for the stage and screen. After receiving my BA in Theatre Performance Studies and Cognitive Science at UC Berkeley, I moved to London to pursue my MFA in Professional Acting at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art. I graduated in 2020 and have since been creating my own work and auditioning for projects. I am incredibly versatile, can do a variety of accents, and bring something strong and unique to each role. As a queer, nonbinary person, I am extremely passionate about telling underrepresented stories and expanding visibility of actors like me.
