Ashley Rae Fink[1] (born November 20, 1986)[2] is an American actress, known for her role as Lauren Zizes in the television series Glee and as Carter McMahon in Huge.
Personal life
Fink was born in Houston, Texas, and began acting at the age of 4 after stealing the lead in her school's holiday play. After moving to Los Angeles with her family, Ashley immersed herself in acting and began attending an Arts High School, where she began performing for large audiences as leads in The Wizard of Oz (as the Lion) and You're a Good Man Charlie Brown (as Lucy), to name a few. Fink has said that she was bullied in high school, but that she didn't let it get to her.[3] Fink has an older sister named Stephanie.[4]
Career
Ashley came to Hollywood when she starred in the Tribeca Film Festival hit Fat Girls.[5] She has made multiple TV appearances; she has appeared on Make it or Break It and Huge, and recurs as Lauren Zizes on Fox's Glee[6] and as Carter McMahon on the ABC Family show Huge.[7] She also appears in the Walt Disney Pictures film You Again starring Betty White, Jamie Lee Curtis and Sigourney Weaver,[8] and in her indie horror cult hit All About Evil appearing beside Mink Stole, Cassandra Peterson, Natasha Lyonne and Thomas Dekker. Ashley has also recently broke into filmmaking herself by producing her first short starring Camille Winbush titled "Olivia", which just had its premiere at the Frameline film festival in San Francisco.
Fink was cast on the Fox television series Glee. Fink has said that "I was obsessed with Glee before I was a big part of it and I’ve steadily been on it for a while. When I got the script [where she joined the Glee club] I texted Chris Colfer and said, ‘I think I just joined the Glee club?’ I didn’t quite believe it at first, I thought I was getting 'Punk’d.'"[9] Critics have respond well to her portrayal of Lauren, with Robert Canning of IGN praising Fink's performance as Lauren Zizes, as well as her script.[10] Lauren received several positive reviews for her performance in "Comeback." While Todd VanDerWerff of The AV Club found her relationship with Puck "a lot less assured" than in "Silly Love Songs",[11] Sandra Gonzalez of Entertainment Weekly deemed their scenes "as endearing as they are unrealistic."[12] Respers France commented that she is beginning to really like Lauren, noting: "for me Lauren represents how Ryan Murphy is able to take the concept of the outcast, flip it on its ear and shove it back in our faces with a side order of fabulousness."[13]
Fink also appears in the music video for Stacie Orrico's 2004 hit "I Could Be the One."[14]
Ashley will appear in the upcoming film Glee: The 3D Concert Movie in theaters August 12, 2011. [15]
