Rising star Meryl Hathaway is an actress and writer from Maryland, USA. Often seen in comedy television, Hathaway’s breakthrough came when she landed the role of Brittany on “The Good Place.” Hathaway first gained notoriety in videos for Funny or Die, College Humor and UCB Comedy, which launched her professional on-screen career. Now with over 30 national commercials to her name, as well as nearly 40 acting credits, Hathaway is making her mark on the industry.
Authenticity is at the heart of everything Hathaway does. With a passion for bringing a truth to her audience, Hathaway earned rave reviews for her self produced web series “Single Siblings” and “Winnie: A Sister’s Story.” Not only did she create and star in each of the series, “Single Siblings” won Hathaway both acting and writing awards. Thriving on the live performance stage, Hathaway has appeared as a series regular on FOX’s “Riot” opposite Steve Carrell, Rob Delaney and Mayim Bialik. Other television credits include “This Is Us,” “2 Broke Girls,” “For the People,” and “Bunk’d.” Appearing as Millie in Hulu’s “Deadbeat” and as Andie Tate in HBO’s “The Comeback,” Hathaway is building an exciting career.
Never afraid to sharpen and explore her craft, Hathaway continually pushes herself as an artist. Her debut self-written SAG short film “It’s Your Call” was created with an all-female camera department and director. Hathaway’s film was screened at the distinguished Palm Springs Shortfest and the HollyShorts Film Festival in 2019. As Hathaway’s star rises, her future on and off camera looks bright.
