Accepted into the American Academy of Dramatic Arts at just 16 years old, Angel Parker has spent her career, on stage and on camera, deeply immersing in her characters.
From five seasons as the vivacious and intrepid Tasha Davenport on Disney XD's "Lab Rats" to her scene-stealing turn as celebrity attorney Shawn Chapman in Emmy Award-winning FX series, "American Crime Story: The People vs. OJ Simpson," the petite Parker brings her larger-than-life discipline, depth, and sparkling charisma to each role. She shines as Catherine Wilder, a successful lawyer, fiercely loving mother, and calculating supervillain in Marvel's hit action drama series, "Runaways."
Since her breakout role on Joss Whedon's "Angel," Parker has collected a hefty list of credits, including “The Good Doctor, “Animal Kingdom,” “NCIS,” "911: Lone Star," "The Rookie," "REL," "The Strain," "Trial & Error," "Castle," "Criminal Minds," and "ER." More recently, she's appeared in Kevin Costner's ABC pilot “National Parks,” the pilot “La Brea” and “Grand Crew” on NBC, Hulu's “The Dropout,” and the independent feature film “Prisoner's Daughter,” starring Kate Beckinsale and Brian Cox. She also has a recurring role in Netflix's upcoming “Graymail.”
Parker has studied and worked with the British American Drama Academy, Independent Shakespeare Company, and Will & Company, and she's performed with the Blank Theatre's Young Playwright's Festival for over a decade.
Angel currently lives in Los Angeles with her husband and two children.
