I am Laura Michl (pronounced Michael - yes, I am aware that the spelling of my name is missing some vowels). Think of me as Sandra Bullock meets Natalie Wood with a touch of Jessica Alba and a dash of Rashida Jones. I'm a Los Angeles-based actress who is currently working in film and TV.
Originally from Naperville, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago, my fascination with film started at a young age, and my passion for being in front of the camera inspired me to move to Los Angeles in order to pursue my career in acting. I approach every acting opportunity as I approach everything in life: with tireless hard work and exuberance.
