Melissa Miller

I'm a Los Angeles based actor with roots in New York City.

I've been a professional actor of stage, television and film for over twenty years.  

my acting journey

I've spent over twenty years as a professional actor in theater, television, and film.

Over the past several years, my work expanded into the study of somatics, embodiment and movement. Rather than taking me away from acting, it deepened my relationship to it.

It's given more a greater trust in the body, a deeper curiosity about human behavior, and the same love of storytelling that first drew me to the stage.

Reviews

“What makes it pop, when it does, are the performances. ... And Melissa Miller, the production’s secret weapon, deftly switches gears and covers her tracks…alternating as a cheeky British saleswoman, an impertinent 14-year-old and an Old World Jewish immigrant."

“Heart of the City” Andy Webster, New York Times
