Joy Kigin

Joy Kigin is an American actress, best known as the role of Ms. Hough on Nickelodeon's I Am Frankie. She was born to Hal and Joyce Marston in Winter Park, Florida, and has two brothers. As a child, Joy participated in competitive figure skating then transitioned into competitive cheerleading as a teen, all while active in her school's theatre program and thespian troupe. In college, she stepped away from acting but returned for a production of Frank Capra's "It's a Wonderful Life" at the Orlando Fringe Festival. It was there she met a friend who later introduced her to film acting in This Man's Life opposite Michael Rooker and Bill Cobbs. Previously a bit of a self-proclaimed theatre snob, that incredible experience set Joy on the path to pursue acting on screen. Based in the Southeast, Joy studied the Meisner technique under Yvonne Suhor and Lauren O'Quinn, and continues to approach every script with pure enjoyment of the process. Joy lives in Orlando, Florida with her husband Michael.
