About Erin Henriques
Erin Henriques is an actor and writer. Originally from Los Angeles, she studied acting in Chicago (DePaul University) and London (LAMDA), worked as a make-up assistant on a movie in Mexico (Master and Commander), and briefly lived in New York (seemed like a serious actor thing to do). After amassing a lot of new life experiences and more than a lot of debt, she finally returned home to LA where she’s been working on film, television, web, and theater projects ever since. A fan of LA’s comedy scene, she completed the program at the Groundlings and has performed at IO West, UCB, The Steve Allen Theater, and The Hollywood Improv Lab. Currently, Erin can be seen in “Mandie and Earring”, a comedy web series about a pair of eccentric children’s singers. She is also writing her first feature-length screenplay. But not at Starbucks because that would be a cliché.
