Andrew Dobbie
Film / Theater / Voiceover
I am drawn to stories that challenge and move people. My goal by performing is to help others develop a common language of empathy and understanding that can be brought into their relationships and everyday life. But, who doesn't love a good popcorn film, ya know?
I have led several indie films and pilots, as Prince Charming in Hope, Cyril in I'm Going to Kill You Next Wednesday, Sunny in S.L.A.G.S., and Agent Ellis in Bloodbourne. I have lent my voice to villainous leading characters in the narrative podcasts Betrayal and Twisted Tales.
​
Onstage, I have played iconic roles such as Darcy in Pride and Prejudice, Biff in Death of a Salesman, Chris in All My Sons, and Algernon in The Importance of Being Earnest.​​
Education
2021-2022
The Atlantic Theater
I completed the Evening Conservatory at The Atlantic Theater Company which offered some of the most technical growth as a performing I could have ever ask for. It expanded my possible characters through movement, speech, dialect, all while grounding everything in an approach developed by William H Macy and David Mamet.
It was fucking awesome!
2015-2016
The Barrow Group
In 2016 I completed the Apprenticeship Program under Seth Barrish and Lee Brock. This was my first time seeing what it took to be a professional actor. It was an eye opening experience working with other actors that had completed various BFA or MFA programs. But, we wrote, co-directed, and acted in our final showcase. I wrote and directed two pieces. I also acted in 2 others.
OH! By the way, during this time I also directed a classmates one-man show. That was fun!
2010-2014
St John's University
Yes, I have a Bachelor Degree, thank you, in Anthropology with a double minor in English and Philosophy. During this time I was active as an NCAA Fencer for St. John's.
This time is also what spurned me to become an actor. I helped a friend complete one of his film projects, and improvised some things without knowing what that was. I also took my first acting class my senior year. I guess college was beneficial, weird.
