Most known for her role as Christine on Disney’s Pretty Freekin Scary where her humor and charm quickly made her a fan favorite. Presley has honed her acting craft and her hard work and her commitment is reflected in numerous projects including her starring role as ‘Olvia’ in Madison Wolfe’s short film 'Acorn, Iowa.' Equally impressive is Presley’s role as ‘Bennett’ - fighting with rival children to take control of an abandoned theme park after a virus kills all of earths adults in ‘The Park’ – written and directed by Shal Ngo.

In ‘Casey Makes a Mixtape' Presley plays the lead character ‘Casey’ in this nostalgic coming-of-age feature set in 1980s Texas, before MP3s when cassette tapes were the norm and you had to record your own mix of your favorite music. Written and directed by Blake Calhoun and filmed entirely in Texas, it’s described as a love letter to small-town summers, mixtapes, and messy growing pains.

Great to have Presley Richardson back on the podcast. Beyond acting, Presley is passionate about music and storytelling, influences that guide her creative journey as her career continues to grow. She is one to keep on your radar.​
