Tessa Markle

I've been performing for as long as I can remember. Even as a toddler, I would imitate my favorite movies and put on shows for anyone that would pay attention to my antics. As I got older, I discovered that this translated well to the stage, and I became a very active part of my local community theatre - The Geyer Performing Arts Center.  With the support of my family, I pursued both Theatre and Psychology degrees at Washington and Jefferson College. I then moved from my small hometown of Scottdale, Pennsylvania into the city of Pittsburgh where I continued pursuing acting at a semi-professional level.
I finally made the move to Los Angeles, California in 2014 and have been a working actor ever since. While I am still pursuing acting as my primary career, I have also leapt into producing, voiceover, modeling, and podcasting. This led me to co-found Femme Regard Productions, a film production company with its own show about the industry, Femme Regard Podcast.
