Ulla Friis - Biography

Ulla was born in Copenhagen, Denmark. While living in Denmark she got the acting bug at a young age, appearing in numerous theater productions. Even though busy with school and competitive horse back jumping, she kept up the acting. After graduating from college she had plans to continue on to medical school, but on what was supposed to be a two week trip to New York City she fell in love with "The Big Apple" and stayed for a year. She tied up the loose ends in Denmark and made NYC her home and continued to pursue her love for acting. In 1999 she graduated from The Neighborhood Playhouse School of Theatre and began her professional career in New York City before moving to Vancouver, Canada where she worked in Film and TV. She has now made her way, as many of her peers before her, to La La Land and is happy to call Hollywood her home.
