Emma Smith Watts is an LA based actor & comedian. She graduated from New York University's Tisch School of the Arts with a BFA in Drama and a minor in Business of Entertainment, Media, and Technology from the Stern School of Business. During her time at NYU, she studied method acting at the Lee Strasberg Theatre & Film Institute & on camera at Stone Street Studios.
Emma grew up in Tokyo, Japan - surrounded by a culture outside of my own made her extremely curious about people. Why do people do what they do? What makes someone who they are? This curiosity about people fuels Emma's work as an actor and she hopes to spark curiosity in others about their own human nature through performance. Yes, she speaks Japanese...but fluent is a strong word!
Recently, Drew Barrymore & Ross Matthews make cameos in the film, Jackpot: Three Gen-Z besties in NYC love to have fun, but are broke AF - that is - until one boozy night and one very lucky Powerball ticket... Emma plays Erin the Lead Role, a chaotic drunk who is a little too in touch with her inner child. Directed by Emmy-Award Nominee Josh Ricks. Official Selection HollyShorts, New York Shorts International & Big Apple Film Fests.
Netflix-Fave Director Ludovic Littee (Orange Is The New Black, House Of Cards) told Emma she had "IT" after booking her on CBS's FBI: Most Wanted - Emma plays the fresh-faced, gullible bank teller.
Emma's strawberry blonde hair and an inclination to 'yes and' has landed her in commercials for the brands such as Apple, Dunkin', Ulta Beauty, and First Response.
