About Ashley McCarthy

Ashley McCarthy is an International actress who has taken on a vast range of edgy roles in her career. Born in Orange County, she had a yearning for the stage at an early age, and began auditioning for commercials, film and television at merely four years old. She has since been in almost 40 National and International commercial spots, over a dozen films, and shows on networks CBS, ABC, and MTV. Ashley worked on her career simultaneously alongside her studies in school and was also heavily involved in community theatre. She attended Tesoro High School in Rancho Santa Margarita, where she became a member of the International Thespian Society as well as the Comedy Sportz High School League.After graduating, Ashley wasted no time making the permanent move to Los Angeles. She quickly landed her first lead role under the direction of horror icon Luca Bercovici in the film Dr. Chopper (2005), which premiered at the Cannes Film Festival, and has since become a modern cult classic with a massive underground following.In 2007 Ashley found herself under the direction of the ever-edgy Daniel Waters in Sex and Death 101 (2007), starring Winona Ryder and Simon Baker. This film was very close to her heart because it began a long term bond and friendship between her and the acclaimed writer-director, who inspired her to begin writing her own screenplays and stories. She continued to take on various small roles in indie features and appearances on television, as well as writing her own projects. In 2010 she traveled to Vancouver to star in the drug-induced thrill ride entitled Ecstasy (2011), alongside Charlie Bewley from the smash-hit 'Twilight' series, and Gillian Zinser of the CW's 90210 (2008)Traveling out of the country for 'Ecstasy' gave her an itch to embark on a new journey; Ashley sought to find something else - herself. She spent almost two years traveling the world, and ended up in Australia on her last stop. During her time there a friend (who also happened to be an agent) encouraged her to go on auditions while residing in Sydney. After a few film projects and modeling campaigns for local designers, it was only a matter of time before she got the itch to refocus on her career with a freshly rediscovered new energy. Ashley has recently returned to the States, splitting her time between Los Angeles and the land down under....
