Ella Stichler is a Los Angeles-based actor and filmmaker committed to creating bold, character-driven work across film and television. Her work spans drama, horror, comedy, and psychological thrillers, with credits including A Bump in the Night, The Taming, Rinse Cycle, The Space Between, The Gift He Gave Me, and the award-winning short film Better Not Write, for which she received a Best Actress award at the Moonwhite Films International Film Festival. 

Her on-screen presence is matched by her stage work, where she has personified iconic characters like Desdemona in In Juliet’s Garden and Mary Bennett in Pride and Prejudice.

Ella’s dedication to her craft is built on a strong foundation of performance that began at a young age—first sparked by her love of singing and dance that led her to musical theater— ultimately evolving into a passion for storytelling that now spans TV, film, and theater. Her training includes Meisner, Chekhov and Stanislavski methods, paired with her background in dance: tap, jazz, hip-hop, and competitive Irish dance. This multi-disciplinary approach allows her to create compelling, layered performances, whether she’s portraying the intense emotion of a film or embodying a dynamic character on stage.

A graduate of the University of Alabama’s Film and Entertainment program, Ella’s experience both in front of and behind the camera has shaped her collaborative approach to storytelling, allowing her to bring both an actor’s instincts and a filmmaker’s perspective to every project she joins.

Now based in Los Angeles and SAG-Eligible, Ella continues to take on roles that tap into her depth of character and resonate with audiences. With her fearless drive and love for storytelling, Ella is a well-rounded performer and rising talent bringing powerful and meaningful stories to life.
