Melissa Ann Archer

Described as "Not your momma's ingenue" Melissa Ann Archer is a quirky actress whose fiery personality matches her fiery red hair. Based in New York, Melissa has been making her way in the film scene and is excited to make her name as an actor and a writer. Melissa has been very serious about performing since she was 3 years old, when she started dancing at her local dance studio, and acting in local plays and musicals once she turned 7. 

After moving to Waco and earning a BFA in Theatre Performance in 2021, Melissa has been following her dreams and most importantly: working hard. ​

 

Since being in New York, Melissa has continued her education by taking dance and acting classes in the city, and has been cast in various film and television productions. Whether it's acting in indie short films with Emmy nominated directors, or performing co-star roles on major network sets, Melissa is excited to grow her network and make a name for herself. You may have last seen Melissa on the Season 22 Premiere crossover Law and Order special in the final scene, acting alongside Chris Maloney, or as a featured dancer in The Crowded Room alongside Tom Holland. ​

​

Very recently, Melissa has found a newfound love for writing and film production, making her debut short Sunny Side Up, which just had it's premiere at the Big Apple Film Festival in 2024. Melissa intends to keep writing and making her own work, one day hoping to be the face and voice of her own show.
