Ashley Fink, born down in Houston, Texas, basically came out of the womb ready to perform. No joke—she was staging shows for her parents before she could even talk properly, and yes, she made them pay for tickets. Hustler energy from day one. Her family packed up and moved to LA, which, let's be real, is the jackpot if you wanna act. She hit up a performing arts high school and from there, just kept rolling—touring nationally, grabbing lead roles like the Lion in The Wizard of Oz and Lucy in You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown. Not exactly small potatoes. It didn’t take Hollywood long to spot her. She landed the lead in Fat Girls, which blew up at the Tribeca Film Festival and snagged her a bunch of awards. That movie took her traveling all over the globe, hitting up international film fests and making a name for herself. TV came calling after that—she popped up in everything from ER to Hung, but really, people know her as Lauren Zizes on Glee. That character? Totally iconic. She’s also got her name on indie cult flicks like All About Evil and even showed up in the Glee LIVE 3D Concert film. Beyond acting, Ashley’s big on supporting arts education—she’s a huge part of the 24 Hour Plays and Musicals, which raise money for that cause. Oh, and she’s not just acting anymore. She’s producing and starring in her own short films, two of which premiered at Cannes. She’s still based in LA, hanging with her cat Fred, and honestly? She’s just getting started.
Totally random, but here’s a fun tidbit: her absolute ride-or-die is none other than Chris Colfer, who you probably know from Glee. They basically clicked right from day one on set. Like, think about all those behind-the-scenes shenanigans you never got to see—yep, they were in the thick of it together. People loved their on-screen chemistry, but honestly, their off-screen friendship is the stuff of legends. They’ve been spotted hanging out at events, hyping each other up online, and just generally being friendship goals. Some fans even say you can’t mention one without the other’s name popping up. Not just coworkers—these two are besties in real life, and it shows. So, if you ever wondered who’s got her back no matter what, look no further than Chris. Their bond? Unbreakable.
