Bio

Michelle Glavan (Gla-ven)

While her sister claims she was an accident, Michelle was nonetheless born in Portland, Oregon. After briefly living in Ohio and Pennsylvania, her family eventually settled in Birmingham, Alabama, where Michelle did most of her growing up. From fourth grade until the end of high school, Michelle resided in the suburbs of Birmingham, developing a slight drawl as well as southern manners (hence the constant swearing). Shortly after arriving, her best friend persuaded her to try theater. This is when her love for musicals and the stage began.

During high school, she mistakably veered away from acting, pursuing soccer, cheerleading, student government, and all those other things guidance counselors tell you are important. While they helped her get into a great college (UCLA), she decided her heart/gut/brain (or whatever organ controls decision making) was telling her to return to acting. Now, she lives in Los Angeles with her roommate Bubba, who is also an actor of the canine variety.

Michelle currently studies improv at the Upright Citizens Brigade theater and writes/produces comedy sketches and music videos in her spare time. Her other hobbies include: soccer, hiking with Bubba, singing, and knitting.

Her credits include a guest star on Comedy Central’s “Workaholics”; a co-star on ABC’s “Desperate Housewives”; and a recurring role on the Warner Bros. web series “Aim High”, starring Jackson Rathbone from Twilight and Aimee Teegarden from Friday Night Lights.
