Amy Stewart(II)
- Actress
- Producer
- Stunts
Amy Stewart got her start as a child in regional theaters in the San
Francisco Bay Area, and did several national television commercials
throughout her teen years. When a Los Angeles based talent agent took
notice of her, she started flying to LA for auditions and work, and
soon began independent study before graduating High School.
Later, Amy graduated magna cum laude from UCSD with a Psychology degree
and a minor in Political Science. While in college she also studied at
the prestigious La Jolla Playhouse Summer Conservatory under Tony
Award-winning director Anna Shapiro. This experience propelled her
decision to pursue acting as a career, even though she had already been
accepted to several law schools.
She is often termed a "chameleon" for her ability to morph from
character to character and traverse multiple genres. This unique skill
set first got Amy noticed for her tear jerking performance as a rape
victim in a critically acclaimed episode of David E. Kelley's The
Practice. Since then, Amy has continued to appear on some of the most
popular dramas on television.
Ironically, Stewart is a natural "funny girl," with training in both
improv and stand-up comedy. Her breakout comedic film performance came
in the screwball romantic comedy Monkey Love, described by IndieWire as
"a late night secret pleasure for single gals with bad track records."
She starred in the film opposite Jeremy Renner, and proved that she is
as diverse as she is talented. Hollywood has definitely taken notice of
this lighter side of Amy, resulting in her comedic turns on shows like
Desperate Housewives, Las Vegas and The Starter Wife.
