Tara Platt

I am an actor/writer/producer who creates excellence thru play! No matter what project or in what capacity, I always strive to honor two values: playfulness and excellence.

I just celebrated the 10th anniversary of my production company, Monkey Kingdom Productions, where I've produced and acted-in two features: award-winning psychological thriller Tumbling After and mockumentary Con Artists. I also created, starred in and produced the successful web-comedy, Shelf Life, for four seasons. Most recently I was on Scandal, Hawaii Five-0 and Castle, and appear in the Halle Berry movie The Call.

Together with my husband, Yuri, I wrote the award-winning book, Voice-Over Voice Actor which we published through our publishing company, Bug Bot Press.

But my career isn’t about the achievements; it’s about exploring your imagination. One of my favorite things about acting is discovering our own creativity and wonderment. Imagination thru the creative process is how I get to say YES to play.

What I bring to the game is unique, since I strive to learn and grow with every opportunity. Everyone I come into contact with gets to experience a high level of excellence thru playful adventure. And as a bonus, if I could wear costumes or disguises in alternate realities or time periods all the time when I work, I'd be living my bliss!
