Ashley Watkins

Ashley Watkins? Oh man, talk about a powerhouse. She’s been grinding in the entertainment biz for over sixteen years, bouncing from LA to Atlanta but never missing a beat. Acting, dancing, you name it—she’s done it. She’s teamed up with heavyweights like David Fincher and Don Johnson, and even scored national distribution for not one, but three feature films where she landed the lead. Not too shabby, right? TV’s no stranger to her, either. Ashley’s wrapped a couple of pilots and a feature flick down in Atlanta, plus she’s popped up on network shows you’ve probably binge-watched—Entourage, Castle, Californication, even The Young Pope, just to name a few. And her dance card? Packed. Over thirty music videos! That includes working with legends like Michael Jackson and the Black Eyed Peas. She even skated and danced her way through LA Opera’s 2011 run of “Eugene Onegin.” Commercials? She’s basically everywhere. Fruit of the Loom, Skechers, Epson (yeah, the Olympics ad—she was there), and Toyota’s Scion Zeus campaign, which is just a fancy way of saying she’s the face of some pretty big brands. Ashley grew up military, thanks to her dad’s 24 years in the Air Force, so moving around and adapting? Second nature. She’s got a BA in Theatre from UCSD, plus a wild set of side skills—figure skating (used to compete!), aerial silks, fire spinning, stilts, cycling. Basically, if it’s fun and challenging, she’s probably already nailed it.
