Eliza Blair is a sunny cynic with one foot on the ground, one foot in the sky, and a third foot in hell. Growing up in a small town in the Bay Area, Eliza participated in theatre after being dubbed a safety hazard to everyone in sports, and trained in acting, tap dance, singing, and technical theatre. When, eventually, the city of San Francisco asked, "Can you code?" and Eliza said, "No?" and the city said, "Get out," Eliza packed up and went across the country to Harvard to get a degree in Theatre Dance & Media and African American Studies instead.
While studying both experimental and classical theatre alongside race, gender, and social justice, Eliza continued to pursue acting outside of school, training at the London Academy of Dramatic Arts, Powerhouse Theatre, Moscow Arts Theatre School, and Atlantic Acting School. A delightfully bubbly and deceptive brash non-conformist, Eliza has always worked to use art for positive change - at Harvard, Eliza created socially-engaged experimental productions of classical texts, led public art projects, and directed the second- and third-annual productions of Our Voices, which brings together original art by survivors of sexual assault.
After solo backpacking through Europe, Eliza landed in LA and has appeared in feature films, television series, and world premiere theatre pieces. Selected credits include: Netflix's Never Have I Ever from Mindy Kaling, an upcoming Apple TV+ drama series, the sketch comedy-history series Book of Queer as Joan of Arc (streaming on [HBO] Max), the award-winning feature film Maybe Someday, the feature drama The Fall with Jeremy Sumpter and Jim O'Heir, the world premiere production of Never is Now at the Skylight Theatre, and more. Eliza also served as Intimacy Coordinator for the short films "Feeling Sexual," "Bird Food," and "Helios."
Beyond the world of film, Eliza is also a marathon runner (because solo sports seem safe enough), a softball player (because why not seek some dangerous thrill with team sports again), a fanatical football ("soccer") fan, and a passionate advocate for LGBTQ people and filmmakers.
