Pollyanna McIntosh

Pollyanna McIntosh is a native of Scotland. She was raised in Portugal, Colombia and then returned to Scotland. This is where she started performing on stage at The Edinburgh Festival. At the age of 16, she left for London and was soon involved in indie filmmaking (her first pay-per-view was as a stoner in Irvine Welsh's The Acid House (1998)) and theatre in both roles as an actress and director. In 2004, her move to Los Angeles in 2004 led to more stage work. She directed Anne Dudek (a regular star on Mad Men/Big Love (2006)) as in addition to David Dayan Fisher (a regular character in 24 (2001/NCIS 2003)) to rave reviews. Her first US movie role was as "Stacy" who was a manipulative birthed Christian as seen in Headspace (2005). The first time she appeared in a movie was in Headspace (2005) as the manipulative, born-again Christian "Thumper Wint". This comedy was written by Heathers (1988). Exam (2009) that was the first, in which she worked in London and LA was the next. BAFTA-nominated for Outstanding British Debut and winner at the Santa Barbara Film Fest of Best Independent, Pollyanna's performance was "smart and sassy" in equal parts the emotional core of the movie" and her ability to appreciate the "emotional vulnerability" of her tough and ambitious character. GQ simply said that Pollyanna McIntosh is a beautiful actor and actress "extraordinarily talented actor". Como Quien No Quiere La Cosa (2013) (As if you Don't Like it! ) is a hilarious South American farce in which she plays Brit actor Trevor Lock's unhappy wife.
