HELEN HERBERT

Professional actress working in theater, film and voiceover.

AEA / SAG-AFTRA
I'm an actor and filmmaker based in New York City. Originally from New Jersey, I've been living and working in NYC for over a decade.  I'm currently pursuing my MFA in Acting from Actors Studio Drama School and enjoy developing characters that are complex, flawed women. Whether onstage or on-camera, I search for the humor and heart in all stories.
Selected New York Theatre roles include: Officer Haley in Final Request (Nylon Fusion), Elizabeth in Queen Elizabeth of Factory Fifteen (Samuel French OOB), Mag in Town of No One (NY Fringe) and Marilyn Monroe in It's All Make Believe Isn't It? (Nylon Fusion).

I recently directed my first documentary short film, Ninety-Two and A Quarter which was featured at Hamptons Doc Fest and Legacy Film Festival on Aging. My first narrative short First Line of Defense is due out in 2022.

 "Helen is every director's dream collaborator. She's a smart, agile actor always driven by living the truth of the moment. Her mastery of craft gives her the ability to nimbly shift between comedy and drama with ease. I adore working with Helen and run to her at every opportunity."
