Carlye Tamaren

CARLYE TAMAREN is an actor, director, writer, producer, editor, dancer, singer, songwriter, and martial artist. Prior to the shut down, she could be seen nightly performing in ROCK OF AGES HOLLYWOOD. She has worked steadily as an actor and dancer in film, TV, commercials, theatre, print ads, music videos and voice overs as well as shadowed Jeff Schaffer as he directed episodes of CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM. She has also written, directed, produced and edited multiple award winning web series that were featured on the front page of Funny Or Die and Who Haha. “Jewitch,” the pilot of her series THE REAL WITCHES OF WEST HOLLYWOOD (co-created with comedian Leah Lamarr) won second place over all at LA Top Shorts, was an official selection of the LA Film Awards (LAFA), as well as an official selection of the Dances With Films Festival at the Chinese Theatre in Hollywood.

During quarantine, she co-created, directed, produced and edited seven episodes of a show called THIRD WHEELING WITH ASHLEY PARK, with actress/bff Ashley Park (EMILY IN PARIS) and featuring celebs like Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Leslie Odom Jr., Zosia Mamet, James Cromwell, Justin Min, Emmy Raver-Lampman and more, coming soon! She also raised $25k through Seed & Spark to make her first fully funded short film, THE DEVIL’S DAUGHTERS, starring herself and Kayla Compton (THE FLASH)! Most recently, she directed her first commercial also starring Ashley Park and danced on Hulu's LOVE VICTOR.

Carlye developed a passion for martial arts seven years ago after getting attacked in West Hollywood — I mean, what better way to rehab her mind and body, right? She is now a master of Capoeira and Krav Maga and hopes to spread the message of feminine strength and power through her art. This skill set also landed her the role of performing the motion capture for all the female characters in CALL OF DUTY: BLACK OPS IV. She graduated from one of the top Musical Theatre programs in the country, the University of Michigan.
