 Maddie’s Acting Resume

 

QUIRKY, FLIRTY, DOWN-TO-EARTH, EXPRESSIVE, and UNASHAMEDLY-GOOFY are a few words to describe Maddie Reynolds White. Don’t let those fluttering doe eyes trick you: Maddie ain’t NOBODY’s fool. Adept at both dramatic acting and improv comedy, Maddie’s no-reservation attitude comes through in her work to provide a sense of honesty that audiences immediately relate to.

“Maddie is a quirky leading lady— a type that is in high demand in today’s industry.” –Jamibeth Margolis, CSA

Maddie Reynolds White was born and raised on the island of Coronado in San Diego, California. She began performing in musicals and dance competitions at a very early age. In high school, she honed in on her love for acting, when she attended San Diego County’s award-winning Coronado School of the Arts program. At the ripe age of eighteen, Maddie’s sights were on bigger things: she decided to move 3000 miles across the country to attend college in New York City, where she had just been admitted to the prestigious BFA Acting Program at Pace University in lower Manhattan.

In 2013, Maddie graduated with her Bachelor of Fine Arts in Acting, with Cum Laude honors, from Pace’s rigorous Pforzheimer Honors College. Having spent the last five years in New York City, studying, training, working, and building relationships, she is excited to be reconnecting with her Southern California roots, having recently relocated to the incomparably beautiful city of Los Angeles.

Her training at Pace was a tremendous gain to the experience she has in the theatre and on-set. Classes that she excelled in include Advanced Scene Study, Voice and Movement, Acting for Film and TV, and Acting for the Musical Stage. She finds that the knowledge that she received in such classes has given her the tools to refine her techniques and the ways she approaches scripts, character analyses, and the business of acting.

Her recent exploration of sketch and improv comedy, most notably with the fine folks over at Upright Citizens Brigade, has served to sharpen her comedy tool belt and her ability to think quickly and creatively.

” Maddie has a lot of intelligence and inner strength, and it shows– it comes through… I am impressed and touched by her hard work, caring, and dedication to acting.  It is wonderful… She also, I think, could have a good future in this business as a solid, intelligent, gifted actress.  She has a unique face, which is a great asset, she looks like those marvelous “real” actresses who gave us all such pleasure for so many decades whether we saw them in real life or on films or on “old” films – those wonderful stars like Rosalind Russell and Julie Harris and Eve Arden and more recently,  the young Cherry Jones and the young Christine Lahti and Laura Linney.  She could do all their parts because she has the same qualities of strength and determination and courage.” –Sabra Jones McAteer (Broadway Veteran, Actress, Tony-nominated Producer, Founder of Mirror Repertory Company)
