- Amy is an American actor, host and voice over artist best known for her character range as a Series Regular sketch performer in FOX's prime time sketch-comedy series Cedric the Entertainer Presents (22 episodes, 2001-2002) and HBO's dramatic series True Detective with Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson (2014). She is the host of a reality dating TV show set in New Orleans, Louisiana called My Amazing Cheap Date (12 episodes, 2021-2022) produced by the multimedia giant Hearst Television as a national original series for Hearst's new streaming channel Very Local, available now on the streaming platforms Apple TV, ROKU, Google Play and Amazon Fire TV. As a voice over talent, her body of work includes commercial VO, animation, film dub voice matches and corporate video.
Amy's love for acting and voice over began onstage as a teenage sketch comic and improv performer with over 50 original characters and impressions. Before the days of Youtube she moved to Los Angeles at age 19 with a self-produced VHS tape of 24 original characters. She worked as a model, then as a commercial actor, booking national and international commercials for brands like Apple, Diet Pepsi, Cars.com, SBC Global, and McVitie's Cookies. Amy starred in the first national commercial campaign for Apple iBook (with Milo Ventimiglia) and iPhoto (with Esteban Powell). She signed with a top voice over agency and voiced characters in the Warner Brothers cartoon Duck Dodgers and Sony's legendary fantasy video game Everquest 2.
Amy's original comedy tape caught the eye of several top agents at the William Morris Agency, TV agent Jeff Witjas and Comedy agents Brian Stern and Conan Smith, and miraculously, with few theatrical credits under her belt, Amy signed with the A-list agency. Her big break in TV came during a screen test for the major network 20th Century Fox for a Series Regular role in a Comedy pilot. She auditioned with original material and landed the pilot but FOX executives went a step further and offered her an exclusive two-year Talent Holding Deal.
Amy's ability to transform often makes her unrecognizable in many of her television and film roles, both comedic and dramatic. In The Last Laugh (2019) with Chevy Chase and Richard Dreyfuss she is a young, fresh, stand-up comic. In the horror comedy Smothered (2016) she is a gray haired, rotten-toothed, cigar-smoking, backwoods psychopath.
Amy currently lives in her home state of Louisiana with her husband and two young sons, and works with "local hire" status in projects filmed in New Orleans, Atlanta, and other cities throughout the Southeast U.S. market. She loves cooking and practicing yoga. She is obsessed with photography, farmers markets and creative writing. She travels often to California and Colorado.
