Tal Anderson

Tal Anderson (she/her) is of mixed Korean and Italian-Irish American heritage, and is a professional actor, filmmaker, and author. She is an advocate for change, using her voice and unique platform as an autistic actor to support inclusion and authentic representation in front of and behind the camera in Hollywood. She is best known for her work as Sid in the Netflix series Atypical, but can also be seen and heard in many other productions on NBC, Prime Video, Disney +, and MAX. Tal has always been a storyteller, and as a child could be seen constantly using her FLIP video camera to record everyday life. It is this love of imagination that led her to acting and filmmaking as an adult. She recently published a children’s picture book, Oh, Tal! Not Today. and lives in Los Angeles with her cat Winifred, where they can both live their best lives and be their true selves. More information about Tal can be found on her website or on Instagram.
