Kari Lee Wasoba

Kari Lee Wasoba is a Los Angeles based actress who hails from the Midwest. With roots in improv and sketch comedy, she loves performing characters, "That absurdist comedy is what I love doing. " Physically, Kari's grounded, ironic quality recalls the energy of Sarah Paulson or Allison Janney, and her talent for playing layered villains sets her apart. Kari jokes about her typecasting as the intense, backstabbing BFF. "I'm often cast as the 'frenemy,' or the mean girl. Why? Do I look cruel!? " Her training with Upright Citizen's Brigade and The Second City Improv prepared her for insanity. Kari also performs in an indie rock band, and is always out on a limb artistically. Aware of her 'serious' first impression, Kari relishes playing against type. Her resume is a balance of film, TV, and theater credits with a hearty dose of commercial work. In truth, the surface of her talent has just been scratched.
