ABOUT TAL
Tal Anderson grew up in SW Florida with her parents, and 2 younger brothers. She began acting at 15 when she struggled with social interaction prompting her mom to sign her up for improv classes.
That and her natural curiosity about film making, set her on a path towards a lifelong career. She attended college to better understand the film industry and gain technical skills with a B.S. in Film from Full Sail University, where she graduated as Valedictorian. After college, she moved to Southern California for an internship in post-production, and began pursuing her career as a filmmaker and professional actor.
Tal’s favorite part of acting is the process of breaking down a scene and character, and the challenge of analyzing the role. When she’s not acting, she flexes her creative muscles with editing and writing. She’s an avid horror movie fan, lover of rock music, and is a true crime enthusiast. She recently launched the Hairy Yarns Podcast, a Horror Podcast with co-host Kayla Cromer, where she is able to combine many of these talents and interests.
When it comes to her presence in the public eye, she wants people to see her as a real person who’s doing their job authentically and doing their best to advocate for equality and disability. She has permanently relocated to Los Angeles, where she lives with her cat Winifred.
