Jenn Kirk
- Actress

- Casting Department
Jenn Kirk has a talent for bringing genuine, grounded characters to life. (Literally-she's fallen on the ground crying in over 15 films.) She's worked across theater, film, improvisation, commercials, and TV, and is known for her empathy, big smile, and playful spirit.
Most recently, she played Lancelot Gobbo, a Shakespearean clown from The Merchant of Venice, at the National Theatre in Prague. Through clowning, Jenn has been able to nurture her inner child, embracing the idea that play through the arts can help us navigate the challenges of the modern world.
Before acting full-time, Jenn worked as an IT Analyst in SecOps for four years-without any prior experience in tech (not to be confused with Jen from The IT Crowd). That unexpected path has given her the skills to portray multiple badass technical roles in both film and TV, such as Tech Expert in Jack Ryan S3, Crypto Tech Host in Bonus Trip and collaborations with HP, Smartlook, and Apple.
Whether she's performing in dramatic or comedic role (or something a little in-between), Jenn brings a natural energy and thoughtfulness to her work. She holds a B.A. in Theatre Arts from Loyola Marymount University, with minors in Art History and Business.
Originally from Palm Springs, California, Jenn now splits her time between LA, London, and Prague. When she's not acting, you'll likely find her DJing under the name Captain Kirk or playing board games on Board Game Arena. This year, she plans to master an Irish accent, get better at chess, and direct her first play.
