Oh Heyyy,

I’m Hailey Vest and I’m a trained actor and director working and living in NYC.

I found my love of storytelling belting Broadway musicals from my carseat.  I grew up putting on little plays in my living room and handing out scripts to anyone who would take them. Thank goodness my Mom had the insight to play Rodgers and Hammerstein from the beginning.  Most supportive theatre kid parent ever!

My training includes acting for film and theatre, directing, improv, and dance.  I have a BFA in Performing Arts from Savannah College of Arts and Design (SCAD), and graduated the two year Meisner Conservatory Program at the Maggie Flanigan Studio in NYC.  I also continue to let loose my goofball side through improv at The Magnet Theatre.  I’m currently in the application process for my MFA in Directing.

But where have I seen you?… Well you’ve seen me on CBS's Bull as Emily Baker,  Little Red from "Into the Woods," Emma from "Take With Water,” and currently on my web series "Living With Myself.”  Haven’t seen those?  Well, imagine if Julianne Moore and Ellie Kemper had a baby…. That’s me!

I’m happiest when I’m creating work from the ground up. As much as I love the emotional responsibility of acting, my true love is for directing and holding up the artistic integrity of a production. I’ve always been a problem solver, creative juggler, and most alive when collaborating with other artists.

So who is this Hailey Vest you ask?  Well, I start my days bright and early with a cup of coffee, explore outside with my lil fluff pup Herbaceous, and write/direct/produce my own work. I’m currently working on my Directors Reel as well as my first feature which will hopefully be in production Summer of 2024. I also love fitness, and side hustle as a Lead BodyRok Pilates Instructor to pay this crazy New York rent.   Yes, I am a natural redhead, these freckles are real, and I sunburn easily.  But don’t worry — I’ll bring my own sunscreen.  

Want to work together? Yep, was thinking the same thing!
