Virginia Newcomb is an American actress, producer, and independent filmmaker with notable roles in; Peacock (2010) with Cillian Murphy, Reparation (2015) with Marc Menchaca, and The Office opposite B.J.

Born in Memphis, TN and raised in Alabaster, AL by Jackie & Allen Newcomb, Virginia's early years were spent hunting small towns for artistic expression. A scholarship to The Lee Strasberg Theatre began her Los Angeles days. She has performed in numerous award winning plays on the west coast while 2014 held Newcomb's Broadway debut in Jay Scheib's live cinema production of Chekhov's Platonov, or The Disinherited, which live streamed to Time Square and BAM. This innovative style of theatre continues to inspire Virginia's work, most recently as creator of the Cuclaorus Film Festival's annual commissioned Blue Velvet installation, Bus To Lumberton. In one of her first films as producer, Virginia breaks type as a Marine Veteran in Three Fingers (2015). After a successful festival run, having been honored with several jury prizes, this intimate film exploring the spectrum of trauma is now available on the independent film platform, Seed&Spark. While her role as filmmaker expands, she seeks to "share bold, evocative stories in collaborative risk taking projects that portray women honestly and adequately, particularly in nontraditional southern narrative." - IMDb Mini Biography By: Incensed Media
