IT ALL STARTED WHEN...
I was cast as the scampering church mouse in my pre-school's nativity scene.
Who Am I?
Hi! I am Siena D'Addario. I enjoy playing with my dogs (and other people's dogs), watching trashy reality T.V. shows with my family, cozy blankets, fall-time activities, printing custom labels on my label-maker, home-made Italian food (especially of the gluten-free variety), "athleisure", boxing, weight-lifting, and cleaning my apartment with my boyfriend.
Where AM I?
I currently live in Brooklyn, NY. Hailing originally from Easton, CT, a small town in Fairfield County that is truly the most unexpectedly scenic place on earth (especially in the Fall).
Why am I?
When I was young I was extremely, painfully shy and wouldn’t go to school without my favorite doll: “Olivia Baby” (named after my real-life sister Olivia, whom I got as a gift when my mother became pregnant with her). After some growth, some ~begrudging~ detachment from Olivia Baby, and some interactions with the very real Olivia Human, I realized that I was now a big sister. Whoa. Now I had someone to play with and, more importantly, someone to entertain. This newfound responsibility led me to become quite the little spitfire, and in turn, I was drawn to performing, pretending, and making up stories with her and for her. So, in short, I credit my little sister for transforming me from a wallflower into an actor.
What Am I?
I am an actor, writer, producer, singer, model, and mover. I graduated with a BFA and high honors from NEW YORK UNIVERSITY, TISCH SCHOOL OF THE ARTS (Playwrights Horizons Theater School).
I also attended the ROYAL ACADEMY OF DRAMATIC ARTS in London, England for their Intensive Classical Acting program where I studied all things classical performance and technique.
FUN FACTS!
1) While attending NYU, I also received a Minor in Child and Adolescent Psychology, which has come in handy many time as an actor and writer.
2) Speaking of writing, I am also a writer and producer. I co-own and operate an independent production company, PODS Productions, with my writing, producing, and life partner Cooper Gordon. We are constantly churning out awesome new content for you to sink your teeth into. Click below to check out our writing and production company websites.
Thank you so much for visiting my website. I hope that you continue to poke around and get to know a little more about me as an artist and a human.
