Colby Minifie

Colby Minifie’s one of those people who just seems to have always belonged on stage and screen, you know? Born in 1992, she kicked off her acting journey at just eleven—so, yeah, you could say she’s been at it for a while. The YoungArts scholar thing? That’s no small potatoes. It means she got recognized early on for having some serious chops. She didn’t just rest on that, though—she went and got her degree from the City University of New York in 2014, so she’s got brains to match the talent. But it’s not just acting for her—she spent four solid years performing with the National Dance Institute, which means she moves just as well as she delivers a line. That dance background’s gotta help on stage, honestly. She’s done the rounds in New York theater, both on and off Broadway, which is a total rite of passage for any serious actor. Theater crowds aren’t exactly forgiving, so if you can hold your own there, you’re golden. TV and film? Oh, she’s been in both. She’s got this knack for popping up in roles where you go, “Wait, I know her from somewhere,” and then you realize you’ve seen her in a bunch of stuff. She dives into characters and makes them feel real, not just another face in the crowd. It’s kinda wild how versatile she is—whether it’s a small indie flick or a big TV show, she brings that same energy and authenticity every time. That’s Colby for you: always in the mix, always memorable.
