about

Chilton Crane - Head of Acting for Film & Television
Chilton has been a professional actor for over 20 years, with many lead, recurring and guest star credits including X-Files, Supernatural, Outer Limits, L Word, Cold Squad, Beggars and Choosers, and many other series and feature films.  She has directed for both film and stage, is very passionate about acting and teaching, and has always been lucky enough to find a balance of both crafts.  Chilton has the longest-running film & television part-time course in the city and yet still brings all of her energy to each and every class.  With an unsurpassed dedication to her students and their development, she believes in empowering each student with knowledge so they can go out into the world independently and with confidence to pursue their dreams.  According to Chilton herself, "There are no quick fixes or secrets in the art of acting; just a lot of hard work, commitment, self-discipline, and oh yeah, a hell of a lot of fun."
