Angela Yonts
- Actress
- Producer
Angela Yonts hails from the small town of Madisonville, KY. She always loved entertaining people and watching movies but didn't officially decide that she wanted to be an actress until she was seven years old. Now almost 20 years later, she is well on her way to becoming a child star like she always dreamed.
While living in KY, she worked her way up from church and school plays to drama clubs and community theater and eventually she went to college at Western Kentucky University and Murray State University for acting. She graduated from the latter with a Bachelors of Integrated Studies Degree in Theatre.
After finishing college, she made the pilgrimage out to CA and was ready to start acting for the big studios but for whatever reason they were leaving her on read. So she became her own studio with a couple friends. They made such classics as The Middle Ground, No Home Neighbors, and Lost In Time. All of those made more than both Avatars combined and because of that Angela got the nickname Lil JC aka Lil James Cameron. That part definitely isn't true but those independent films that she acted in and helped produce were incredible learning experiences.
After a few years in CA and many egos later, Angela started to crave new creative challenges. She decided to expand her horizons by attending The Second City in Hollywood. There she studied stand up comedy, improvisation, and sketch comedy. She graduated from the Conservatory program there.
She continues to act in films, web series, comedy sketches, theatrical productions, and live events such as Scream Break and Fright Fest. Angela performs stand up comedy at clubs and theaters in and around Los Angeles including The Comedy Store and Flappers Comedy Club.
Outside of the arts, she loves minimal exercise and sweet tea. However, she can't handle caffeine like she used to. She's found that true crime is a good substitute. It also makes her jittery and prevents her from sleeping.
As far as her personal life goes, she's never been married but was fake engaged once.
