ABOUT

Born and raised in the heart of Los Angeles…

Mary Claire is a petite plus-size, third-generation Angeleno.

She's a SAG-AFTRA / AEA Latine Mestiza American TV, film, voice over, and performance capture thespian talent out of CalArts' MFA Acting Program.

Mary Claire can be seen in Criminal Minds (CBS), Recurring on Days of our Lives (NBC), 9-1-1: Lone Star (FOX), Good Trouble (Freeform), Grown-ish (Freeform), Or Die Trying (Prime), Ad Vitam (Netflix), upcoming Undisclosed Pilot, upcoming Undisclosed Primetime Television Show, upcoming Undisclosed Disney live-action film, and yet another upcoming Pilot starring an Emmy-nomiee, as well as Cannes-nominated feature Tragiometry.

Coupled with Acting, she also focused her Master’s training in Speech Pedagogy. She subsequently taught courses at CalArts including Institute Acting, Speech / Voice for Non-Actors, and various American English dialects to both MFA and BFA students from around the world.

Whether on screen or stage, booth or volume, MC shines particularly bright as a comedienne and portrays dramatic roles with nuanced precision. She is a four-time Kennedy Center American College Theater Festival Best Acting nominee.

She possesses traits comparable to the comedic spitfire of Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Kathy Bates’ dark power in stillness, Winona Ryder’s quirkiness, the unapologetic pizzazz of Melissa McCarthy, Melanie Lynskey’s vulnerability, all paired with America Ferrera's youthful strength.

This to say, Mary Claire is one of a kind.
