California-born actress Troian Bellisario is one of the hottest stars of the modern television industry. She plays a key role as Spencer Hastings in Freeform’s Pretty Little Liars, a hugely popular and influential teen drama mystery thriller television series. Establishing her name on the world stage, the part has primed her for a long and successful acting career that will only continue to develop after roles in films such as Feed (a film she also wrote) Clara and Where’d You Go Bernadette.

Her standout performance in Pretty Little Things has brought the actress plenty of acclaim, including two Teen Choice Awards and six nominations, plus a Young Hollywood Award. These landmark parts all come after years of television roles in her youth, such as parts in Quantum Leap, NCIS and First Monday, and she has picked up plenty of critical praise along the way including Vision Fest Award for Best Acting by a Female Lead and the FirstGlance Philadelphia Award for Best Actress in the film Consent.

Next to starring in these high profile films and TV shows, the multi-talented Bellisario has also appeared in, produced, and co-written a number of short films and indie projects. Her directorial debut came in 2016 with the 15th episode of the seventh season of Pretty Little Liars. She very much owns all the roles she takes on and turns out powerful and absorbing performances that ensure the future is just as bright for this unique acting, writing and directing talent.
