Biography
AMY ACKER was first introduced to us on hugely popular show "Angel," starring opposite David Boreanaz, as ‘Winifred ‘Fred' Burkle' in the final few episodes of season two. Her character was so popular that she became a series regular for the run of the series. The beautiful and talented actress studied dance for thirteen years before turning her attention to acting, where she received tremendous acclaim on the Texas stage in productions of William Shakespeare's "The Tempest" and "Much Ado About Nothing," earning the Therese Raquin Award for one of her star performances. Amy then moved to New York, where she quickly landed the lead in two independent feature films, "The Energy Specialist" opposite Greg Dickerson, and "The Accident."
This success fuelled her passion for acting even more, and Amy decided to take the plunge and relocate to the West Coast. Shortly after her move to Los Angeles she was cast in the science fiction flick "Groom Lake," written and directed by William Shatner, followed by "Angel." This Texas native attended Southern Methodist University, where she studied Fine Arts and also earned her BFA in acting.
Amy Acker appeared on Joss Whedon's "Much Ado About Nothing," and starred in "Sironia" which premiered at the Austin Film Festival. Other features include "21 and Wake Up," Steven Spielberg's "Catch Me If You Can," and "The Novice" featuring Jacob Pitts and Frank Langella. She appeared on the ABC series "No Ordinary Family." Her other television credits include "Happy Town," "Dollhouse," "Alias," and she played ‘Fred' on "Angel" for three seasons. Amy has done a significant amount of theatre as well and was named Best Female Actor by the Fort Worth Weekly for her work in "Beast on the Moon."
