Austin Judd first took the stage as a kindergartener, but her passion for performing truly flourished through her involvement with St. Petersburg Children’s Theatre, the John Hopkins Middle School Theater Magnet, and the Pinellas County Center for the Arts at Gibbs High School in her home state of Florida.
Growing up as the child of a preacher, stepping into leading roles came naturally to Austin. Her early experiences included singing and assisting with worship productions, sparking her commitment to social justice. From the time she was in a stroller at protest marches to her later roles as a public speaker and workshop leader focused on diversity, Austin drew on her unique perspective as part of a mixed-race family with same-sex parents.
With a solid foundation in technical theater, Austin embarked on her professional modeling journey in 2010. She has since worked in various regional projects, including benefit runway shows, underwater dance, body painting, fitness modeling, fine art photography, and video productions. Austin remains a sought-after studio model for professional artists and collaborates closely with Ringling College of Art & Design.
Her remarkable talent led to her casting as CANDY in the feature film BIG TOP EVIL (2019), where her performance received critical acclaim and allowed her to work alongside iconic horror actor Bill Moseley. Most recently, she has portrayed CHRYSTAL in the film CANNIBAL COMEDIAN (2020).
