Hire lead talent in Illinois

My verified Instagram is @nolaloloc amd for sone public use it is: @laurenleacraig and includes a few self-tapes. Please feel free to request any other headshots or professional reels or refer to the YouTube links above. I am managed by LBI Entertainment via Chuck Pachecco with oversight by Rick Yorn. As an on-set and remote co-worker I'm reliable, trustworthy, confident, friendly, a little goofy and somewhat self-deprecating but always very professional. I learn very quickly and communicate clearly and I work hard to interpret, collaborate and execute the vision of the character or role. I recently started pursuing work in front of the camera again and I'm currently studying at Jim Gleason's The Working Actor's Studio in Metairie, LA, The Actor's Apothecary in New Orleans, LA and Shari Shaw Studios in Los Angeles, CA. I spent about 20 years in Chicago in sales which allowed me to meet people across the country and build my interaction experience and communication skills with all different types of people from lots of different types of places all over the country. I'm an EMBA from Northwestern Kellogg and I'm really proud of the fact that I am a keen observer and I can talk about just about anything with anybody! A fun fact about me is that I'm not a great singer and so I've completed over 100+ hours of karaoke to build up my performance skills. It was some of the best training I've had to date.

Andrea brings a rare blend of lived experience, leadership, and authenticity to every role, creating performances grounded in real-world perspective and human connection. Her extensive career leading teams, mentoring athletes, public speaking, and operating in high-pressure environments gives her a natural presence for roles requiring leadership, confidence, and credibility. Andrea is especially suited for sports-centered projects and authority-based characters including coaches, athletic directors, educators, executives, investigators, community leaders, and professional mentors.Trains with Vaga Bond and The Chicago Actors Studio 1 of 3 Lead Role Northwestern Health Film Stand In ; Chicago Fire, Chicago PD Featured BG ; Barbershop, The Chi Retired WBB NCAA College Coach 28 yr career
