Ashley Platz, a former high school track star, discovered a new passion when her theater arts teacher secretly entered her into acting competitions, marking a significant shift in her interests. This development led her to Pace University in New York City, where she studied acting and began landing roles in commercials, theater, and film. The success of one such film at a festival inspired Ashley to relocate to Los Angeles and dedicate herself fully to pursuing an acting career.
In Los Angeles, Ashley's passions expanded to include activism, as her taped audition for the CW's Batwoman was leaked on Twitter, thrusting her into the queer spotlight. As a bisexual/pansexual gender-fluid individual, Ashley felt a profound sense of responsibility to be a visible advocate for those who cannot be, and has since committed to fighting for the rights of LGBTQ+ people.
As an actor, Ashley has maintained a consistent workload, with recent appearances on Hawaii 5-O, 9-1-1, The Bold Type, Grey's Anatomy, and GLOW. In addition to her acting endeavors, Ashley also writes and produces her own original films and series, showcasing her multifaceted talents.
