TAL ANDERSON (she/her) is of mixed Korean and Italian-Irish American heritage, and is a professional actor, filmmaker, and author. She is an advocate for change, using her voice and unique platform as an autistic actor to support inclusion and authentic representation in front of and behind the camera in Hollywood. She is best known for her work in the Netflix series "Atypical" as Sid but can also be seen and heard in many other productions including, recently, as Becca King, twin sister of Dr. Mel King on the hit MAX series, The Pitt. Tal has always been a storyteller, and as a child could be seen constantly using her FLIP video camera, or one of several hand-held voice-recorders to record everyday life, or her daily performances of stories/scripts she had made up or written. It is this love of imagination that led her to acting and filmmaking as an adult. "Oh, Tal! - Not Today," is Tal's first book. She lives in Los Angeles with her cat Winifred, where they can both live their best lives and be their true selves.
