Bailey s-z

Born in LA, raised in Seattle, and trained in New York, Bailey has spent the past two years training with industry professionals, learning from masters of Shakespeare, and producing my own short films.

Many of his early years were spent hiking, camping, and exploring the beautiful forests of the Pacific Northwest. 

Most recently, he has graduated from the Tom Todoroff Conservatory and is excited to be pursuing opportunities in NYC and beyond.

"He is a great fit for any setting in which hard work, courtesy, and a healthy dose of humor are highly valued.

He does his work as an actor, knows how to examine his text and make clear, well motivated decisions.  His performances are subtle, honest and strong. "

─John Jacobsen, The Artist Toolbox PBS

Bailey Smart-Zimmerman grew up in Seattle, having moved from his birthplace of Los Angeles at a young age. His childhood was spent camping, constantly reading fantasy books, and acting in theater productions such as Dylan Thomas’s “A Child’s Christmas in Wales.”

In September of 2015, he left Seattle to become an ensemble member with the Tom Todoroff Conservatory, in New York City. During that time, Bailey was honored to learn from masters such as Stephen McKinley Henderson, Andrew Wade, and Giles Foreman. Bailey graduated from the Conservatory in May 2017, having completed the comprehensive two-year program of instruction which included Stanislavski Method, improvisation, Alexander Technique, speech, theater and film history, acting for the camera, and advanced scene study.

Since graduating, Bailey has gone on to act in several features including Tequila Flavored Cigarettes and Fair Haven, and his most recent short, Friendly, directed by Matthew Panepinto.
