ABOUT

AMELIA BORN DEAF

My name is Amelia Hensley and I am a professional deaf actress currently based in Los Angeles. I am a proud member of Actor’s Equity and recently starred in Deaf West Theatre’s “Spring Awakening” on Broadway, playing the role of Thea. I grew up with a theatre background, studied Theatre Arts at Gallaudet University and have been involved in numerous shows and independent films. But, despite my experience, I am constantly fighting for my spot in the casting room. Though the entertainment industry has made significant strides toward including the deaf community in film and on stage, these roles are still played by hearing actors too often. Contact me to find out more information and how we can start working together to change that.
