Haley Dyana Schwartz was raised Buddhist by a couple of self-proclaimed Northern California hippies, so she learned to meditate before she could walk. She was taught to aspire to bravery, authenticity, and presence. As a result, she grew up to be a good actor and a bad liar. Haley is ANNE HATHAWAY, KRISTEN STEWART, and EMMA CORRIN in a blender: intelligent, brave, and Ari Aster-freaky. She stars in THE CHAIR (which garnered 7M YouTube views and a print feature in The Hollywood Reporter), in addition to numerous films with festival awards across the country. Haley has worked in theater with folks like Ruth Hendel, Lisa Peterson, New Georges, Clubbed Thumb, Trinity Rep, The Bread Loaf Acting Ensemble, and Celebration Theatre, as well as in national and regional commercial campaigns.
Beyond acting, Haley writes award-winning plays about women and queer people in mythology. Her new play, DEAD THINGS, premieres in NYC in October 2025. Haley is also a published poet, touring folk musician, model, college educator, and joyful spinner of a lot of plates. She holds an MFA in Acting from Brown University, Popular Choice & Curator Awards from Irondale's OnWomen Festival, a Shubert Foundation Award, the David Wickham Prize in Playwriting, and an Antonio Cirino Memorial Scholarship.
Haley is a NEW YORK-BASED ACTOR and a LOCAL HIRE in LOS ANGELES, SAN FRANCISCO, and BOSTON. She is available for theater, film, TV, commercial, and print bookings!
