About Starla Parrish

Starla Parrish is a passionate and dedicated actor who recently made an exciting transition from a thriving career in finance to fully embrace her lifelong love for acting. Her journey in the world of performance began early—at just 6 years old, with her first National TV appearance on a children’s show on CBS. Her teenage years were filled with acting in school plays, participating in poetry contests, and joining community theater groups, laying a strong foundation for her craft. In college, she continued to pursue her passion and even landed a National commercial for Dove soap in her 20s. While her focus has been on Commercials, Print, and Theater, she is now expanding into TV and Film, eagerly embracing new opportunities to bring diverse characters to life on screen. She continues to train with highly qualified industry professionals for improv, commercial, theatrical, scene study, and voice over. Her credits include commercials for Disney, Teleflora, Lexie Hearing, Allergan, Shopify, Blue Buffalo, Ruggable, and several others. Print projects include Disney, Allergan, Disney Adventures, Dupixent, Trodelvy, Lexie Hearing, and others. Theater work includes co-lead roles as Millie Allen in Right Man, Wrong Time (2018), and Donna Kendricks in My Child, My Child (1988), and several local theatrical performances. She is thrilled to be doing what she loves, sharing her talents, and continuously growing as an artist. Every project fuels her drive to inspire, connect, and make an impact through the art of storytelling. Let’s connect and explore the magic that happens when passion meets opportunity!
