Bio

Jacqueline Emerson is an actor, writer, musician and graduate of Stanford University. After landing her first film audition (THE HUNGER GAMES), she has since acted in projects for NBC/Universal, Fox, Disney, and CBS, and can next be seen in Paramount's WINTER SPRING SUMMER OR FALL (2025), Hulu's GOOD AMERICAN FAMILY (2025), and Briarcliff's KENT STATE (announced). Theatrically, she has performed at the Hollywood Bowl, the LA Opera, and with such companies as IAMA, TheaterWorks, and EST/LA, where she was an Ovation Award Nominee.  Her vocals have garnered over a million views on Youtube and have lent themselves to projects for Disney, Dreamworks, Netflix and Microsoft, as well as commercial work for Wells Fargo, Clorox, the Teen Choice Awards, and Legoland.

On the writing side, she recently landed a deal with Critical Role (VOX MACHINA), to develop her horror/thriller animated show, THRESHER, into a feature film, comic book, and TTRPG – the pilot of which just wrapped filming in the UK. She has an original movie musical in development with DesMar Productions, a romcom in development with Zanne Devine/Luber Roklin, and an animated feature in development with Meghan Malloy (SPIDERVERSE), Fonda Snyder, and Suzi Yoonessi (director at Disney Animation). She has additionally sold two films to MPCA (Dumb & Dumber, Beverly Hills Ninja), and was commissioned to write the music and co-write lyrics for the original musical "Princess Ten Ten and the Dark Skies," which was produced with full orchestra at UC Riverside. 

 

On the activism side, Jackie created the story-sharing platform "Let's Get Real" while at Stanford, and traveled around the country under that banner, speaking with young women about body image and overall representation issues. She was also the cofounder of She’s So Boss—a multimedia brand that helps girls to discover their own inner boss. Because of her voice on these issues, Jackie was invited to speak at TEDx Orange Coast, was profiled in OWN's digital series, “Who Am I,” was the ambassador to the China Institute (she is conversational in Mandarin), and a guest columnist for the Huffington Post and Maria Shriver’s website. 

 

When she’s in LA, you can see Jackie performing monthly with improv troupe Pinot Noir on the UCB MainStage, see her act in local theater shows, or find her storyboarding her upcoming projects with a lot of post-its on the floor.
