About
Oh, hello!
Ashley Rose Kaplan’s the name on my equity card,
But my friends call me Kappie.
I’m a plus size Jew-Rican actor of the stage, screen, & sound booth, vocalist of many a genre, writer, director, coach, blogger, and a chronically ill Taurus, so you can guess where the girl scout badge “Super-trooper” came from. (The stubbornness…it's the stubborn-cough cough-Determination- cough cough.)
I’m a jack of many trades, picture a creativity hydra with an extensive hat collection. Bam. Here I am! You can take the girl out of New York, but you can’t take the New York out of the girl. After I broke my foot (no more dancing in heels for me), I needed something to fill the triple threat void.
The Media of My Childhood: Fat actors can’t do THAT!
Me, Grown: Hold My Beer
Without artists like Monique, America Ferrera, & Donna Lynne Champlin, I would never have seen any positive role models as a child. Maybe that's why I love animation so much?
