Kersti Bryan

Kersti Bryan’s got roots in Golden, Colorado, but honestly, you’ll find her all over the place, thanks to a career that bounces from Shakespeare to crime dramas without breaking a sweat. She kicked things off at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival, which, let’s be real, is kind of a flex if you’re into proper acting chops. Carnegie-Mellon School of Drama? Yeah, she went there too. Not exactly a lightweight. She’s popped up in flicks like “Hustlers” and “Inheritance”—you know, those movies where you blink and miss a killer performance, but not with her. “Rachel Hendrix” showed off her range big time, and she’s been on TV sets for “Tales of the Walking Dead,” “Perry Mason,” and “FBI: Most Wanted.” Basically, she’s not afraid to mix it up, whether it’s zombies, legal drama, or FBI chases. The woman’s got range for days. But wait, she doesn’t just stick to acting. Kersti’s out here writing, directing, producing—kind of a do-it-all powerhouse. You get the feeling she’s restless, always itching to create something new, whether it’s a full-blown story or just spinning fairy tales for her niece and nephew under the stars. She’s big on giving back, too, and her creativity spills over into charity work. So, yeah—Kersti Bryan’s the kind of person who’s not just in the story, she’s helping write it, direct it, and probably telling it around a campfire somewhere.
