Hi, I’m Adria 👋🏼

I’m an actor and writer and a coach. I earned my BFA from New York University and Playwrights Horizons Theater School in stage directing and acting…

I began my career as an actor, and my first professional acting job was playing a twelve-year old boy looking at porn in Tompkins Square park with an amnesiac in Hal Hartley’s Amateur which premiered in the Directors’ Fortnight at Cannes.

I work pretty regularly in television and film and I’m probably most known for my recurring roles on Mad Men and Mad Dogs as well as in the Academy Award winning film, The Artist.

I also got to star opposite the late, great Danny Aiello in his final feature, One Moment, a heartbreaking comedy about a single mother trying to harness her already hectic life while her aging father slips into dementia. 

I also wrote and directed two award-winning films – Cracked, a childhood drama which stars Marguerite Moreau…

…and, Pie, which stars fellow Mad Men alum Jessica Paré.

Both were favorites on the festival circuit. 

In 2021, I started coaching actors and non-actors in acting, auditioning, public speaking, and presenting. My ambition is to help my clients achieve their dream careers by up-leveling your confidence, finding your authentic voice, and forging genuine connections with your chosen audience.
