Amanda Mikhail was born and raised in NYC. She attended Loyola University in Baltimore where she acted in theater performances and took some Drama classes. Abiding by her parent's wishes, she double majored in Psychology and Art History, with plans to pursue the former professionally. After being accepted into a Masters program in Psychology, Amanda, true to her New York attitude, said "screw this," moved out of her parent's house *in secret*, got a hosting job to pay bills, and began pursuing acting professionally. True story.
Equipped with a background in psychology and a love of the theater, she trained at the Stella Adler Studio of Acting and T. Schreiber Studios, after which she performed in a number of theater productions.
Enjoying the subtleties of acting on camera, Amanda made her transition to film and television, training with Ted Sluberski, Bob Krakower, and KC Clyde. She has been involved in a number of series, independent films, and commercials.
Most notably, Amanda booked a role in "Seven Seconds," a Netflix original series, as Chloe- a call girl who flirts with a cop. She is very grateful to have worked with director Jonathan Demme!
Amanda is currently writing a pilot ;). Stay tuned for more.
Urban. Bad Girl. Rebellious. Quirky. Playful.
