Judy McMillan

Classically trained and described as "sweet with a twist," Judy McMillan is an American film, video, television, commercial, and voice over actress of a certain age who often plays that strong, spunky, sassy, singular, and sometimes scary friend or family member with a secret. She's known for her work in the Sweetwater Post Office as Marla Haskin in HBO's SxSWestworld, for playing opposite Barry Corbin in An American in Texas, for being one of the flirts in Jimmy John's long running Old Coot commercial, for playing Grammy winner Rick Trevino's mom in his music video Separate Ways, and for embodying the voice of Lexii (the computer) in cult favorite, Average Joe. She's a character actress with a knack for dialects and her roles range from comedy to horror to historic drama. Born and raised on Long Island as Judy Lynn Kamen, she graduated with a BA from Colorado State University in Speech and Theatre Arts Education after spending three and a half years as a Theatre Arts Performance major at Hofstra University. She's proud to say she performed with the Hofstra Repertory Theatre, worked with greats like Joe Morton, Peter Friedman, and Zane Buzby on the Main Stage, and studied with the brilliant Miriam Tulin, who directed her in a production of Rashomon, that was performed at The Mall Theatre In Washington DC for the first American College Theatre Festival. She left Hofstra in the middle of her senior year so she could move to Fort Collins with her young husband where she completed her undergraduate studies at Colorado State. She later earned an MA from the University of Texas at San Antonio in Educational Psychology and spent 21 years as a teacher and counselor working with, teaching, and/or directing special needs students and aspiring performers, all the while continuing to audition and perform (after work, on weekends, on holidays, and maybe taking a sick day or three) as a singer-songwriter, in theatrical productions, and doing commercial and print work. Judy retired from teaching in 2006 and began adding film, television, music videos, industrial videos, and voice over work to her resume. When it comes to The Biz, Judy is a "lifer" who is still going strong. Based in south central Texas, rarely far from an airport, Judy is always ready for that next acting adventure wherever it may be! When she's not working she can be found training, auditioning, rehearsing, dancing, writing, working out, hanging with family, or traveling to the mountains and/or beaches she loves.
