New York based actor and filmmaker Simone Stadler shares an equal love for the stage and the screen. Most recently she appeared on CBS's FBI: Most Wanted opposite Dylan McDermott and in the indie film No Words opposite Liv Hewson and Nik Dodani, which she also produced. Theater work includes Florida Studio Theatre, the Hudson Valley Shakespeare Festival, Pennsylvania Shakespeare Festival, Adirondack Shakespeare Company, and Theater for the New City.
Simone is the writer and director of the short filmThe Spanish Lesson, which is currently appearing at various film festivals across the country, including Dances with Films and North Hollywood CineFest. As a producer, she has brought to life numerous independent films, including the feature film When We Grow Up, the web series This Is B.S., and the short films No Words and Why Those Crops Grow Taller.
After earning a BA in Acting and Public Health at Beloit College, Simone moved to New York for a conservatory intensive at the Atlantic Acting School. She has trained in On-Camera technique with Matt Newton and Heidi Marshall, and in Voiceover technique with Andy Roth and John McKinney. Fluent in 4 languages and possessing a knack for accents, Simone has trained extensively with Knight Thompson Speechwork and works as a dialect coach and foreign language tutor.
Before landing in NYC, Simone studied acting and Spanish in Argentina and worked as a farmhand and Alpine bartender on a glacier in Switzerland. When not creating art, she can be found either climbing a bouldering wall, baking a decadent fruit pie, or playing a complicated board game.
