TK Actors

We take a particular pride in educating, supporting, and guiding the artists who have entrusted us with their careers in the entertainment industry, and who go on to accomplish incredible things. We hold space for and celebrate the uniqueness of each of our students and the artists they will become, and TK Studio graduates remain an integral part of our community no matter where or how far they go.
We’re highlighting just a few of our talented notable alumni below, and sharing what they have to say about their experiences at TK Studio.

The community of artists who have worked directly with Terry include some of the brightest and most exciting actors working in recent years. They have brought their pursuit of excellence to important and wide-ranging projects across film, television and theatre. We are proud to consider these artists as members of the Terry Knickerbocker Studio community!
