Linara Washington

Linara Washington was born in the little town of Beaufort, South Carolina, to a beautiful Brazilian woman and the brilliant American son of a preacher man. Her mother spoke no English at the time, which has given Linara the added benefit of being fluent in Portuguese. She is adding German to her list of languages and is hoping to conquer French, Italian, and Japanese.

Linara has had the pleasure of working in a number of Chicago's most acclaimed theaters including The Steppenwolf, Lookingglass, Northlight and the Tony Award winning Victory Gardens. She has appeared in over 30 commercials nationally and internationally. A supporting role as Keisha, the cute and sassy receptionist in Barbershop 2, motivated her to move to Los Angeles where she has enjoyed roles in American Dreams and E.R. as well as a number of guest spots including Cold Case, Close to Home, Prison Break, Veronica Mars and Without a Trace. She also worked with Will Farrell, Maggie Gyllenhaal and acclaimed director Marc Forster in Stranger than Fiction. Linara featured in the motion picture, The Express with Dennis Quaid and Rob Brown.
