The Meteoric Rise To Stardom
Willa Fitzgerald was no stranger to show business when she started her career in films with the role of Vivian in the film ‘For the Love of a Dog’ in 2008. Her experience in acting goes back to her school days and her formal training at Yale University.
After her first full length movie, She acted in two short films, ‘Food For Love’ and ‘Two Cheeseburgers: Part 3’ in 2012 and 2013 respectively. Willa always felt that a movie was too short and intense a session to build up a character for her fans to assess, so from 2014 to 2016 she shifted her focus to the small screen and appeared in a number of serials including ‘Alpha House’, ‘The Novice’, ‘Royal Pains’, ‘Scream’ and ‘Bull’. She also has television credits in ‘Blue Bloods’, ‘The Following’ and ‘Gotham’ as a guest artist. In her opinion, television serials portray a character in a better manner as the actor gets feedback from the audience and has the opportunity to improve upon their performance with every episode. Willa loved this aspect of television and almost lived each role of hers in real life.
Besides television, she also starred as Beth in the web series, ‘Relationship Status’ in 2016. She found the work to be interesting and challenging. In March 2017, she was cast in a starring role in the Fox Television pilot military soap thriller ‘Behind Enemy Lines’, playing the Navy pilot Roxanne Daly. The serial is a remake of the movie with the same name.
Her acting career includes her performances in a number of theatre shows, such as ‘The Cat and The Canary’ in the Berkshire Theatre Festival, ‘Cow Play’ in the New York Fringe Festival and ‘The Private Sector’ at the Theatre for the New City. She has also done the reading at the Actor’s Studio for ‘Couple in the Kitchen’ and ‘Starf’’cker’.
Not only has she been acting, but she has also taken a step further by directing the theatre production of Virginia Woolf’s ‘Orlando’, which was adapted by Sarah Ruhl in April 2013. The experience of directing was an education for her. She certainly has talent that has been recognised by positive reviews from critiques. Today, she is rated as an upcoming star of the future.
