Michele Dawson

Actress on the rise, Michele Dawson, is quickly positioning herself as one-to-watch in the entertainment industry today. This year, Dawson can next be seen starring as Nurse Deb in the unexpected final chapter of Universal Pictures' "Halloween" franchise, "Halloween Ends," from David Gordon Green.

"Halloween Ends", set four years after the events of the second film of the relaunched "Halloween" franchise, follows Laurie Strode (Jamie lee Curtis) in a final confrontation with Michael Meyers. Laurie is living with her granddaughter Allyson (Andi Matichak) and is finishing writing her memoir. Michael Myers hasn't been seen since. Laurie, after allowing the specter of Michael to determine and drive her reality for decades, has decided to liberate herself from fear and rage and embrace life. But when a young man, Corey Cunningham (Rohan Campbell; The Hardy Boys, Virgin River), is accused of killing a boy he was babysitting, it ignites a cascade of violence and terror that will force Laurie to finally confront the evil she can't control, once and for all. Dawson portrays the role of Nurse Deb, a determined nurse, who might appear to be the mindless beauty but don't be fooled by her irreverence. She is already one step ahead of you. Deb is unrelentingly searching for the joy in the next moment. Fearless and in constant motion if she possessed wings, she would try to fly. "Halloween Ends" is slated for theatrical release on October 14, 2022. The film will also debut on NBC Universal's Peacock streaming service on the same day-and-date.

Additional credits for Dawson include her first television role in CBS' 'Criminal Minds,' and the short film 'Flattest' by Michael Gallagher which debuted at Cannes Film Festival. Prior to booking her role in 'Criminal Minds,' Dawson studied theatre at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles. During her time at LMU Dawson immersed herself into the theatrical community pursuing roles in 'Macbeth,' 'The Seagull,' 'Skin of Our Teeth,' and 'South Pacific.' Upon graduating with a BFA in Theatre, Dawson went on to advance her formal acting training through Meisner-based classes with Andrew Benne, and landed at Stan Kirsch Studios, where she continues to train and hone her craft.
