ACTRESS BASED IN NEW YORK CITY.

Meghann Wilhoite

There I was, freshly 40 years old, sitting with my thoughts during the March 2020 lockdown, and a little voice inside my head said, “That acting dream you’ve nurtured pretty much your entire life? It’s now or never.” Less than two years later, I had several classes under my belt—primarily at The Barrow Group—and had begun booking roles in commercials and indie films. I was already fluent in the art of working musician, and it wasn’t long before acting felt like putting on a well-tailored suit. To create a better understanding of the craft, I also began screenwriting; my writing partner and I recently had a dramedy pilot make it to the Second Round at the Austin Film Festival Screenplay competition.

 

Did I mention I’m a musician? I fell in love with the pipe organ in college and played organist gigs for roughly 16 years, where I became adept at playing the part of a well-behaved church musician (spoiler alert: I wasn’t). I also played my beloved synthesizer the MicroKorg and sang in an indie rock band for a few years. Nowadays I release music under the artist name death of codes, and my tunes have been called bizarre, mysterious, and deep, and I bring a lot of that same energy to my acting.

 

Next up, finishing my feature film screenplay about my time as the organist at a rag-tag church in Manhattan, and producing and starring in shorts based on a couple of pilots I’m developing, showing the world that middle-aged women have interesting, compelling stories to tell.
