Hunter Mackenzie Austin
- Actress
- Additional Crew
Hunter Austin knew she wanted to be in show business from the time she was a child in San Diego, CA. She shared a love of theater and classic movie musicals with her British mother, and a creative penchant for drawing and writing with her architect/civil engineer father. While still in kindergarten, Hunter discovered joy and excitement in watching sitcoms, as well as the televised Tony and Emmy Awards. She was determined to someday be inside the television screen. The family garage was transformed early on into a rehearsal hall for Hunter to practice tap dancing, put on shows and record her own voice overs. Although shy, she made her stage debut modeling tennis wear in a fashion show at the age of six.
After studying a book titled "How To Put Your Kid In Showbiz," Hunter took it upon herself to call a talent agency and set up her own meeting. Her wholesome look and ability to memorize dialogue impressed the agents enough to sign her. With her parents' support, she immediately began commuting to Los Angeles for auditions. She was called back on her first audition and soon landed jobs in commercials for Wendy's, Nissan, Titleist Golf Balls, Opal Fruits and AMC Movie Theaters. She also won roles in the musicals Yankee Doodle Boy and Bah Humbug. She continued to act, sing and dance in large theatre productions and was featured in pilot presentations for the then brand new HBO network.
Acting classes in Hollywood and days spent on sets were dreams come true. On weekends, her dad would also make the drive from San Diego so that Hunter could perform in Danielle Brisebois' Cabaret For Kids.
As an adult, she appeared in many television productions, anime dubs and video games.
