Autumn Withers is an award-winning, American screen/stage actress and writer. Her television credits include guest appearances on FBI: Most Wanted (CBS), Panhandle (Spectrum), The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel (Amazon), Grey's Anatomy (ABC), Modern Family (ABC), Masters of Sex (SHO), Growing Up Fisher (NBC), Army Wives (Lifetime), Stray Day (Disney XD pilot), and recurring opposite Jenny Slate in the JASH digital series Catherine, an audience favorite at Sundance. She appears in the world's first film made during lockdown, Cabin Fever, alongside an international cast. She can also be seen in drama Any Day with Sean Bean, Monarch with Illeana Douglas, and she stars in Avalanche, for which she won Best Actress in a Feature at NoHo Cinefest. Casting Director Erica Bream has said, "I'm always excited to see what Autumn will do with a role. Her ease with both comedy and drama add layers and subtlety to any character, no matter the piece, and her confidence as she makes strong, appropriate choices is so appealing. She's a joy to watch." Autumn's select theater credits include the role of Ann Deever in Arthur Miller's All My Sons (Los Angeles) and the world premiere of the hit play Is There Sex After Marriage? by playwright Jeff Gould. A native of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, and a graduate of the North Carolina School of the Arts, Autumn got her start on stage as the youngest cast member in the Broadway show Yo' Alice directed by Maurice Hines and as one of the famed Radio City Rockettes.
Autumn's stage/screen career along with her Creative Writing degree fostered her desire to write female-driven stories of her own. In 2015 she partnered with Ryann Ferguson, a Broadway lyricist and novelist. They are perhaps the only female writing team in Hollywood to be matchmade by their parents, who were committed hippies together in the 70s. Their slate of content ranges from biting female comedy to historical adaptation and has seen options as well as various commendations from Screencraft, Austin Film Festival, and HBO. Autumn also collaborates with screenwriter Darren O'Hare. Their first comedy pilot was a semi-finalist at Sundance Episodic Lab. Autumn and Darren speak fluent rom-com and have two more in development. Her semi-autobiographical dramedy feature, Sprog, was honored by Slamdance. She also cut her producing chops on the award-winning dark comedy feature, Avalanche, now streaming globally. And her debut novel is coming in fall 2024.
Autumn is the founder of the Hollywood Women's Collective, empowering women creatives professionally and personally, which had a vibrant seven year run of guest speakers, charity events, goal groups, and industry collaborations.
Autumn shares her time between Manhattan, Atlanta, and Paris with her artist husband, incredible daughter, and untrained rescue dog.
