Amy Haeussler

Amy is an actor, writer and model...citizen! She's based in LA, but grew up in a large dysfunctional family from the Chicago suburbs (it’s pop, not soda.)

As a performer, Amy has 10+ years experience writing and performing sketch and improv at theaters like The Second City-Chicago, iO-Chicago, The Annoyance and Groundlings (among all the other bars & random apartments.) Currently she can be found performing around LA and is on deck to start Sunday Company at The Groundlings Theater later this year.

As a writer, Amy has written a number of pilots and screenplays that have placed in notable competitions like The Academy Nicholl Fellowship, PAGE International, Final Draft Big Break, Austin Film Fest, Finish Line Competition and more.

As a person, Amy has gotten herself into a lot of sh*t, gotten herself out of a lot of sh*t and can currently be found adapting to sh*t (aren’t we all?)
