Bio

York Whitaker was born in Brooklyn, New York. York began her acting training at age 11 as a student at Ronald Edmonds Learning Center’s Academy of Performing Arts. York later studied at the world-renowned Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts  (The “Fame” School). In her senior year, York starred in the Spring Drama Festival production of Paradise Gardens East directed by James Moody. She also received recognition from the National YoungArts Foundation.

After high school, York decided to explore interests outside of acting and majored in psychology at Pace University. Being away from the theater for too long proved impossible for York; in her junior year at Pace she was awarded a full scholarship to The Lee Strasberg Theatre & Film Institute where she entered an immersive program in method acting.

After taking a few years off from acting, York most recently began studying improv at Upright Citizens Brigade Training Center and commercial voiceover with Marc Cashman.

York Whitaker currently resides in Hollywood.
