Lindsey Blanchard

Blanchard's screen career kicks off in 2016 — two credits in a single year. That's a fast start. *Arlo: The Burping Pig* gave her the most substantial early platform, casting her as Talia in a lead capacity (IMDb). The film is a family comedy, the kind of low-budget, high-heart production that doesn't get awards-circuit attention but does get watched — a lot — by the exact audience that makes or breaks a young actor's early reputation with casting directors. *Christmas All Over Again* arrived the same year, adding a holiday film to a resume that would continue leaning seasonal. In 2017, she appeared in both *Saving Christmas* (as Jennifer) and *The Assault*, showing at least some range in the types of projects she was willing to take on — one a faith-adjacent holiday picture, the other a drama with a harder edge. Her 2018 work is probably the most interesting stretch of the early career: *Maniac*, the Netflix limited series starring Emma Stone and Jonah Hill, lists Blanchard as Little Ellie — a role that, even if brief, puts her inside a prestige production with serious creative ambitions and a director (Cary Joji Fukunaga) who doesn't cast carelessly. That same year she turned up in an episode of *Bull* as a singing child, which is a very specific character note and suggests the role was written around a real skill. The most recent verified credit, *Summer Camp* (2024), has her playing Tween Jane — a role that, given the character name, probably lands her in a coming-of-age or ensemble context. Six-plus years between her debut and that 2024 credit, with work scattered across the intervening years. Not a breakout arc, but a real one.
