"I became an artist the moment I decided to stop trying to be what everyone wanted."
Noelle Messier is an actor, writer, voice artist, film and comic book producer, exploring life through art. She is a lover of sensuality, metaphor, and word play and is dedicated to finding fun, thought provoking, emotional, and sexy ways to challenge perceptions of love, sexuality, gender, identity, and freedom. She posed nude at the Gagosian art gallery in Beverly Hills, got her teeth knocked out in a stage fight, and was a nurse to mice and frogs. Noelle has an innocent affection for bricks, high ceilings, leather, and chains. She likes long walks on the beach, improvisational cooking, and has very long big toes. LetEverythingSexyBeIAmNaked
"I stand in the present, vulnerable and powerful and ready to play."
Noelle fell in love with theatre in High School and attended the Boston Conservatory. Some of her favorite stage performances in Los Angeles include: Annie in Last Summer At Bluefish Cove at the Fountain Theatre, Cod in Slaughter City with the Son of Semele Ensemble, Olga in Three Sisters or Perestroika with the Orpheum Theater, Baggage Claim at the Hudson Guild Theatre, and The Miss Lesbian Princess Pageant at the ACME Comedy Theater. Regionally, Noelle played Rita in A Girl's Guide to Chaos at Nick's Comedy Stop in Boston, Emilia in Othello at the Mass Bay Theater, Sally in Pack of Lies at the Merrimack Repertory Theater, Ronnie in Domino Courts with the New American Stage Company in NYC, and sketch comedy and improvisation at Walt Disney World.
"Through my characters I share my soul."
Noelle graduated from Emerson College with a BS in television production and studied Meisner acting technique at the William Esper Studio in NYC. Noelle starred in the independent Film, Black Tar Road, streaming on Amazon and can be seen regularly on television in principal roles on NBC, FOX, ABC, CBS, HBO, Freeform, Comedy Central, FX, STARZ, NETFLIX, and on the web.
Noelle is also a voice artist, voicing characters for video games, animation, documentaries, commercials, and PSAs from her home studio.
"The energy in fear, pain, anxiety, and sex is transformative."
Noelle began writing as a way to express her sexual identity and process emotions. Her short stories, Virgin Lesbian Straight Up and Stripping were published in The Lesbian News in Los Angeles and the later, in a book, Inspiration for LGBT Students and Their Allies. Noelle became a registered Veterinary Technician in California, inspiring her to write a television pilot about a lesbian Veterinarian, DVM. After working at an animal research laboratory and realizing what a great place it would be to kill someone, she wrote the horror feature, Lab Mouse Revenge.
"How you express yourself personally, sexually, or socially does not make you more masculine or feminine, it just makes you more human."
Noelle wrote an LGBTQ+ romantic comedy feature, I.D., and went on to produce and star in the short film, Dichotomy, based on that script. Dichotomy won best LGBT short film in the Hollywood Reel Independent Film Festival, as well as being an official selection at Cinema Diverse in Palm Springs, Broad Humor in Los Angeles, Pride in Chicago, NewFest in New York, and Brisbane Queer Film in Australia and went on to be distributed by REVRYTV. Noelle's comedy, television pilot, Donna Manicotti, Dyke Detective, a satirical, sexually suggestive, neo-noir, has been optioned twice and produced as a comic book. The first issue, Hollywood HOMOcide, is available online on Amazon and in print at noellemessier.com.
Noelle's screenplays have all been top finalists in screenwriting contests such as the Austin Film Festival, Page International, Table Read, Emerging Screenwriters, ISA Fast Track, Acclaim TV, Stage 32 TV Pilot, Stage 32 Blood List, Stage 32 Romantic Comedy, and Gotham.
"The more grounded, present, and truthful I am within myself and my work, the more of that energy I can share and transfer to others. If I can influence just one person in a positive way, my journey has been successful. I am grateful to be given that gift."
"Inside us is an endless playground."
