Amy L. Workman

Amy Workman’s kinda killing it on both sides of the Pacific—splitting her time between LA and Auckland, which, honestly, is a pretty sweet gig. She’s not just another face in the crowd, either. She jumped into the whole acting thing the classic way—commercials, dramatic shorts, you know how it goes—but what really sets her apart is the physicality she brings to her roles. The woman’s been flipping, dancing, and basically moving like a ninja since she was six. Rhythmic gymnastics? Check. Dance? Obviously. And then she got into screen combat and sword fighting, because why not add “badass” to your resume? People probably recognize her most as Hikari in “Teen Wolf: The Movie.” That’s where you see her actually doing her own stunts, which, let’s be real, is pretty rare these days. Most actors would tap out and let the stunt doubles take over, but Amy’s out there throwing herself into the action. It’s wild to watch. She’s got this mix of intensity and focus that makes you pay attention, but she also looks like she’s genuinely having a blast while doing it. Basically, if you see a fight scene, odds are it’s really her taking the hits and swinging the sword. Her background in gymnastics and dance isn’t just some fun fact either—you can tell every time she moves on screen. There’s this control and precision, like she’s choreographing the chaos. Whether it’s a dramatic moment or a full-blown action sequence, Amy brings this energy that makes you want to root for her. She’s definitely one to watch.
