Rebecca Klingler

After graduating from the University of Evansville in southern Indiana with a bachelors’ in Theatre, Rebecca took a hiatus from acting and worked as a political fundraiser for several years around the country. Eventually, she returned to the stage, spending a year in Memphis, with Theatre on the Square and fulfilling a life-long dream of playing Peter Pan, as well as Stella in Streetcar Named Desire, Bianca in Taming of the Shrew, and The Soubrette in Sugar Babies. After leaving Memphis, Rebecca spent six years with The San Francisco Mime Troupe, the Tony Award-winning musical theatre company, known for its broad style and political satire. With them, she starred in the Obi Award-winning production of Seeing Double, a musical about the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. Rebecca played in four other Mime Troupe productions before being cast in her first film, Copy Cat, where upon she made the decision to migrate to Los Angeles. Shortly after arriving, Rebecca was cast in LA Confidential and Titanic, and later in The Green Mile and Best Laid Plans. Rebecca can also be seen in TV shows like How I Met Your Mother, The Odd Couple, Hot in Cleveland, Parks and Recreation, and more. While taking an on- camera class, Rebecca discovered a passion for writing and producing, resulting in her current web series The Calamities of Jane, in which she stars in the leading role. Rebecca can also be seen as the retro Home Ec teacher in the YouTube/Brat production, A Girl Named Joe, and will soon star in a one- woman theatre production about Mary Todd Lincoln as part of the Hollywood Fringe Festival.

Rebecca currently lives in Los Angeles, where she continues to write, produce, perform, and teach kids’ acting.
