Actress Ashli Auguillard guest stars in THE ROOKIE
Specific details about how Auguillard fits into the storyline are being kept under wraps. However, she does emerge alongside the all-star casts of both shows, including Nathan Fillion and Niecy Nash. Auguillard said, "I was stoked when I booked the role of Amy! I actually auditioned for The Rookie and Rookie Feds about 9 times that month, and to finally get that 'Yes' for a role that appears on both shows proves that every 'No' isn't always a rejection, but a redirection to something bigger and better! Nathan Fillion and Niecy Nash (the stars of their respective shows) were the kindest you could ask for. It was a dream job."
Originally from Louisiana, Auguillard has been building a solid reputation as an actress since landing in Hollywood. Ashli has been considered for series regular roles by showrunners, breakout writers and producers, creating allies in the entertainment industry as well as the performing arts for leading stage roles. She has been expanding her platform and winning raves in the casting community for roles that require special dialects, physical prowess, sports, weapons expertise and some stunts, including harness work.
She’s booked dramatic roles in genre films for the big and small screen. Her versatility has been proven in comedy, including a stellar role opposite Larry David, Lucy Liu and Jon Hamm as ‘Leon’s’ (J.B. Smoove) first new girlfriend ‘Mary Ferguson’ on the HBO hit Curb Your Enthusiasm. Ashli has also been performing stand up comedy, trying out her own original material, and shaking up comedy clubs in Los Angeles. Audiences will also recognize her from notable roles on the USA Network, BET, Hallmark Channel, Facebook Watch, and Screambox TV.
Michelle Zeitlin, Auguillard’s talent manager since 2017, says, “I am sincerely so proud of the artistic growth and confidence that I see in Ashli. Over the years that we’ve worked together we have been fortunate to align with top agency representation including the exceptional team at SDB Partners, Los Angeles and Ashli’s agency reps in the Southeast including Del Corral. I have no doubt that Ashli is soon going to be enjoying the fruits of her labor. Ashli has a clear picture of her “WHY” as an artist, actress and her purpose that keeps her centered and focused.”
