Nerissa Tedesco is a highly versatile actress known for comedy, drama, horror, crime and family films, plus music video and network reality TV. She's also known for improvisational skills and a dozen varied accents/dialects, e.g. American Southern in You Should Meet My Son 2! (2018), Russian in Ocean's Twelve (2004) and three accents in $elfie Shootout (2016) Nerissa was rewarded with the starring roles of Rose, the sweet aunt, in You Should Meet My Son 2! (2018) and the prostitute and grifter, Irina, in $elfie Shootout (2016) after auditioning for supporting roles in both movies. Each film's director welcomed improvisation, and both movie's final cuts included Nerissa's improvised dialogue and physical humor. During her favorite improv, in $elfie, she rapidly changes accents while shifting a costume piece to show how the garment is worn in each accent's home country. Nerissa studied improv with Second City and Groundlings teacher, Shirley Prestia. She pairs this with ongoing, on-camera training for film, TV and commercials. Her passion for developing new, interesting characters and bringing them to life began early in her own life while growing up in - where else - Los Angeles! As a teen, she and a late sister pioneered the "valley girl" type of character well before it was popularized as such. They performed hilarious skits at benefits throughout Southern California featuring the girls' bubble-headed ideas in valley girl "speak." Nerissa's diverse roles - from a medical examiner in 1 Interrogation (2019) to Tilly, a homeless bag lady in Project: Puppies for Christmas (2019) - demonstrate her wide range as a character actress. Her other character types can be described as a fortune teller, palm reader, clairvoyant, channel, psychic, drag queen, scientist, medical doctor, catholic nun, a practical jokester, and anything quirky. In fact, Nerissa frequently draws directors' praise for her comedic timing. Nerissa graduated cum laude from California State University, Northridge, with a B.A. in theater arts.
