Who is this Lord Farquaad x Tiny Dancer collab?
My story begins when a volleyball-playing-Lebanese-immigrant and a barrel-racing-Texas-debutant joined forces and created me, Olivia AbiAssi (not to be confused with Jenny Slate).
It was performing my first role as the *Magical Spoon* in Beauty and The Beast that I caught the bug and fell in love with acting. Extending beyond the fame and fortune of community theater, I chose to continue growing in my craft by studying Acting at the University of Oklahoma.
What’s going on now?
After graduating, I got the ~heck~ out of Oklahoma and started working in NYC. Since moving to NYC I’ve been acting in plays, web series, stand up shows, commercials, voicing for video games -- connecting with some of the leading artists in this industry. When I am not in other people’s projects, I am busy writing my own.
Um cool. You’re cool!
Thanks, man. Within everything I do, I really just want to make people laugh, feel their emotions, and realize how hilariously strange this beautiful life is.
I hate bios. Let's get to know each other over some falafel at Manousheh*.
