Teri Reeves

With brown hair, brown eyes, and a lean 5'6" frame, Teri Reeves looks every bit the disciplined actress-athlete she is. A Northern California native, she has lived in Houston, Grand Rapids, Santa Barbara, San Diego, and now calls Los Angeles home. She is a certified personal trainer and a black belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu under Professor Romulo Barral, having earned her belt on August 17, 2019, as the second woman to receive one from him.

Her acting training runs deep. Teri studied in the BFA theater program at UC Santa Barbara and the MFA theater program at UC San Diego. She has built a varied career on television, recurring as Marlena in Season 2 of Netflix's The Punisher, playing Dorothy in ABC's Once Upon a Time, starring as Dr. Hallie Casey opposite Jesse Spencer in NBC's Chicago Fire, and starring as KJ Jameson in Hulu's first original scripted show, Battleground. She also has numerous recurring and guest star credits and has appeared in several independent films.

Beyond acting, she is a classically trained pianist who started at age 5, and she holds both an undergraduate BFA and a master's MFA in theater. She is a producing member of the Ovation Award winning Chalk Repertory Theatre in Los Angeles, where she frequently appears in stage productions. A sucker for black coffee and early morning weight lifting, she balances her artistic life with physical discipline.
