Erica Majtenyi

Erica Majtenyi was born on December 29th, 1987 in Morristown, New Jersey. She has one younger brother. Discovering her love of performance in Middle School through singing in choir, Erica eventually began acting in high school musical and theatre productions. It was her lead role as Elizabeth Proctor in "The Crucible" that awakened her passion and drive to pursue acting as her career. Erica graduated in the summer of 2010 with a BFA in Theatre from Arizona State University with a concentration in acting, as well as a Minor in Communications. It was here that she discovered the art of physical performance, on stage and in front of the camera, which inspired her to create a thesis about the benefits of yoga as training for both film and stage actors. Erica performed in an abundance of student and Mainstage productions, both classical and experimental, and studied under leading experts in the world of physical theatre, such as Corporeal Mime, Jaques Lecoq, Rasaboxes, Suzuki, Viewpoints, and Stage Combat. A few months after graduation, Erica made the big move to Los Angeles, California to pursue her dream of performing in film and television. Within a year, she worked as a background actor on shows such as "Bones" and "Private Practice", a featured extra in the independent feature film "Battle B-Boy", and performed as the lead in four independent short films. On multiple occasions Erica has been commended on her tremendous ability to take direction and her extremely strong connection to her body, and therefore her presence on-screen.
