Bio

Barbara King (sometimes credited as Barbara P. King,) is an actress and model, dividing her time between Los Angeles and New York City,

Barbara's passion for acting began as a child, constantly putting on plays for friends and family. Recognizing her talent, Barbara's parents enrolled her in the Center for the Creative Arts dancing school, where she studied ballet and modern dance. As she grew older she participated in local community theatre and school productions which led to professional radio advertisements for local businesses and a short film for PBS.

Barbara moved to New York City to attend the prestigious acting program at NYU's Tisch School of the Arts. She plunged into the "college experience," studying internationally, taking a wide variety of courses and was cast as the lead in several productions. She graduated with a BFA in drama and as a Founder's Day Scholar and the President of the Tisch Undergraduate Student Council.

Theatrically, Barbara has starred in several off-off-broadway productions, including Tom X. Chao's hit show 'Cats Can See the Devil' and the well-acclaimed New York International Fringe Festical one-woman-show, 'Rapt Inside', proving herself as "a name to be looked for in downtown theatre" [nytheatre.com].

Following her theatrical success, Barbara plunged into the film/TV side of acting, guest starring in the 2006 season premier of Law & Order. She has also been seen as principal roles in Law & Order SVU, All My Children, As the World Turns, and lead roles in several independent films (including To and From New York and Urchin, both available on Netflix,) as well as starring in several national commercials.

In her spare time Barbara practices yoga, enjoys hiking, and is an avid reader. She also volunteers for numerous organizations including Girl Scouts and local soup kitchens.
