Ashlie Atkinson is an award-winning theatre, film, and television actress, and a 2003 graduate of the Neightborhood Playhouse. In 2005 she received the Theatre World Award for Breakthrough Performance for originating the role of Helen in Neil Labute's "Fat Pig"(opposite Jeremy Piven) -- a portrayal which also garnered her Outer Critics' Circle and Lucille Lortel nominations. Television and film credits include Denis Leary's critically-acclaimed Rescue Me, 3lbs, Spike Lee's Inside Man, Another Gay Movie, Sex and The City -- The Movie, Margot at The Wedding, Law & Order, Law &Order: Criminal Intent, Puccini for Beginners, and Filthy Gorgeous. MTV fans may recognize Ashlie as her hip-hop alter ego, "Chunky Pam", a plus-size rap diva and YouTube viral phenom. After appearing opposite Debra Jo Rupp in SecondStage's "Butcher of Baraboo", she made her Broadway debut as Vivian Proclo in Terrence McNally's The Ritz (starring Rosie Perez). Ashlie is a proud member of both the Bridge Theatre Company and Gotham Girls Roller Derby (where she skates under the name Margaret Thrasher, Prime Minister of Your Demise). Ashlie has performed in several installments of TheATrainPlays as well as the 24-Hour Plays on Broadway and the 24-Hour Musicals at Joe's Pub, and this past year she's worked on six feature films opposite actors such as Jessica Alba, Ryan Gosling, Kirsten Dunst and Ricky Gervais.
