Comments (0) Best Local Actress - 2005
Allison Tolman
With her Dallas debut in Second Thought Theatre's Anton in Show Business last year, this 23-year-old Baylor grad impressed critics and theatergoers with her natural ease onstage and her ability to turn in a breathtaking performance without seeming to hog the spotlight. Described by her Second Thought colleague Steven Walters as "ridiculously intelligent," Tolman visited New York, L.A. and Chicago before deciding to launch her acting career here. Smart move for her and good news for theater lovers. "Every day Dallas becomes more my home theatrically and geographically," says the Houston native. Tolman sings, too. Ridiculous.
