Emily Hardy (SAG, AFTRA) is a Los Angeles based actor with "the mind of a woman and the heart of a girl. But don’t expect her to dumb down her conversation - you’ll just have to try harder to keep up." - SAM CHRISTENSEN STUDIOS


Emily plays the lead/heroine in Unified Pictures' upcoming feature film XII, which also stars Steven Brand, Nick Searcy and Mercedes McNab. It's coming out soon!

Other credits include her supporting role to Cheryl Ladd in Hallmark's Though None Go With Me and her guest spot on the CBS hit show Navy: N.C.I.S. She is an alumna of the nationwide hit show ComedySportz and creator of the comedic webseries Broke as a Joke as well as the stage show Skin Deep, a collection of original pieces written by women about beauty and self-esteem.


Emily projects "a wide-eyed and naïve exterior while being incredibly aware and smarter than most, yet she is not the least bit condescending. While her vibrancy and natural beauty are both arresting and accessible, it is her cleverness and engaging conversation that makes her an absolute treat to work with and to know." - KEITH KJARVAL, UNIFIED PICTURES

"Determined. After 10 hours in freezing cold, getting banged up and bruised, always ready to do one more take. With a big smile and spunky attitude, even though the PA forgot the vegan meal." - TIM MONTIJO, UNIFIED PICTURES

"We met the adorable Emily, who is sort of a cross between Danica McKellar (Winnie Cooper of The Wonder Years) and Elizabeth Hurley." - POLYSTAFFLE ENTERTAINMENT BLOG

Emily is like "an orchid - bold but light hearted... (she) radiates a calm, beautiful quality." - NONSTANDARD FILMS


Emily comes from California's central coast - the daughter of a classical musician and a writer - raised on music, literature and salty coastal air. She loves to sing, dance, do yoga and Pilates, fence, ride horses and race sailboats. She also enjoys working with environmental groups and participating in charity runs, including the Los Angeles Marathon, which she ran on behalf of AIDS Project Los Angeles, raising over $1,700 for the organization.

Emily is a graduate of the American Academy of Dramatic Arts and winner of its prestigious Michael Thoma Award. She now studies at Steppenwolf West and Sam Christensen Studios. She is represented theatrically and commercially by The Gage Group.
