Elise McFarland is an actor who grew up among the trees in the Pacific Northwest, specifically the greater Seattle area. She loves to tell complicated underdog stories about the people in the world we tend to ignore. Characters who might appear offbeat or disturbed on the surface, but who really carry universal human fears, are of intense interest to her.
Some of her favorite films include "Requiem for a Dream" when she wants to cry, and the 1986 cult classic "Labyrinth" when she wants to smile. She loves french fries for dinner and going places she’s not supposed to. She will be playing Sally Poppy in Lucy Kirkwood’s “The Welkin” this spring.
