Sharon Lesser (she/her)
Actor/Writer/Producer
I’m a nice, Jewish girl from the Upper East Side of Manhattan whose mother would have preferred I end up a Park Avenue Matron. I chose acting and writing instead. I started the acting part late, after years of writing on-air promos at places like Nickelodeon, Oxygen, and The Food Network. I love a challenge, so I decided to start a family at the same time as I started my acting career. TV credits include: Raising Kanan: Powerbook III, The Deuce, Blue Bloods, Law & Order SVU, Tell Me A Story (Paramount+), I Love You, But I Lied, (Lifetime) I’ve appeared Off-Broadway: In the Daylight, (McGinn/Cazale Theater), Twelfth Night, Tartuffe, (Pearl Theatre Company), Captivity Narrative (Playwrights Horizons) and Public Service (13th Street Repertory Theatre) and film credits include Junction, Drug Mule (Best Actress, Long Island Film Festival), and Off Season (Best Actress, LIIFE). I graduated from Middlebury College with a BA in English Literature, which isn’t necessarily useful, but four years of reading great literature doesn’t suck.
