Hannah Townsend

Hannah Townsend is an American born model, classically trained actress, writer, director & activist from SoCal. Her parents Dan (of Irish descent) & Patricia (of Native American, Mexican, Asian descent) had the bloodline & lifestyle of radical hippies raising Hannah on acclaimed film, art, Motown & Classic Rock music at a very early age. Growing up with family roots out of San Yisdro on the border of Mexico, diving head first into the world of watching brilliant cinema by Stanley Kubrick & listening to Jimi Hendrix religiously was a perfect way for her to cope with the rough neighborhood streets in a positive way. She began singing at the age of 7 consistently with her hometown church choir continuing into her teens doing school plays, scene study & script analysis in high school. She rigorously studied Shakespeare Iambic Pentameter & booked the lead in "The Comedy of Errors" portraying Adriana at The Old Globe Theatre youth scholarship program of San Diego. Her discipline & respect for the creative arts grew into a self discovery passion pursuit thereafter. Hannah is a Dean's List Honors graduate from the Meisner trained San Diego MCTC Acting/ Theatre Production Conservatory Program. Along with a passion & training in various techniques of acting, some of her long time studies include working on her craft with acclaimed method acting coach Eric Morris, Larry Moss, Upright Citizen's Brigade Improv Comedy, the AFI SAG-Aftra Conservatory & the Studio 4 LA Filmmaking Masterclass taught by James Franco/ Sean Barnes. She is now training on zoom with gifted acting coach John Markland who coached Rami Malek for his Oscar winning performance in "Bohemian Rhapsody" and is a proud member of NYWIFT (New York Women in Film and Television). Hannah plays the character Elise on HBO's "The Deuce" by David Simon & George Pelecanos. She is based in New York City.
