Andrew Garrettson
- Actor
- Producer
- Sound Department
Born in Milwaukie, OR, Andrew was raised by a single mother. He was inspired to pursue acting by his high school drama teacher, Rae Mona Reynolds, who had taught Lindsay Wagner and Sam Elliot. A motorcycle crash at the age of 18 left him in serious debt and cut short his college career. It would be 8 years and a move to Denver when he returned to the stage, where, for many years he expanded his skills by directing, and stage managing in regional and community theaters and music festivals. But wasn't until he was the age of 35 did he first act in front of a camera in 'Cooper and Brady Turn Pro'. For all the years spent on stage, Andrew discovered an even deeper love for life on set. Background work on 'Leverage' and 'Grimm' and supporting roles in a few web series, including in the award-winning 'Embers of War' by write/director Justin Lee. The two have collaborated on several projects together, including Any Bullet Will Do, Swell, and Big Legend. Andrew enjoys living with his wife and cat in Portland, OR.
