Career
At the age of 16, Ashley Hinshaw relocated to New York in pursuit of a modelling career. She found considerable success as a model, including as part of a commercial campaign for Abercrombie & Fitch. It was her experience as a model that eventually made her first television appearance possible. In 2008, she was featured in an episode of ‘Made’.
In her acting debut, Ashley portrayed a character credited simply as “the Blonde” in a season-one episode of ‘Fringe’ in 2009. That year, she also appeared as herself in an episode of ‘Gossip Girl’. In 2011, she guest-starred in A&E Network’s crime-drama series ‘The Glades’ and played Power Girl in the short film ‘The Death and Return of Superman’. In 2012, after making her cinematic debut in ‘Chronicle’, she appeared in three other films, ‘Rites of Passage’, ‘LOL’, and ‘About Cherry’, as well as in the telefilm ‘TalhotBlond’. Among all the films she has starred in her career to date, ‘About Cherry’ is unarguably the most significant. In it, she essayed the role of Angelina, a problematic young woman who moves to San Francisco and becomes involved in the porn industry. The film had its premiere in February at that year’s Berlin International Film Festival.
In the 2013 fantasy thriller ‘+1’, she worked alongside Rhys Wakefield and Logan Miller. She then appeared in ‘Snake and Mongoose’, the 2013 biographical drama about Don "The Snake" Prudhomme and Tom "The Mongoose" McEwen, two of the greatest drag racers in history, and the rivalry that existed between them. In Philippe Terrier-Hermann’s direct-to-video drama ‘The American Tetralogy’, she was cast as the lead.
In 2014, she had the recurring role of Brigette Stackhouse, a microbiologist and wife of Jason Stackhouse (Ryan Kwanten), in the seventh and final season of the HBO supernatural drama series ‘True Blood’. In the same year, she played an archaeologist named Dr. Nora Holden in the found footage supernatural horror film ‘The Pyramid’. She was cast as Colleen O'Brien, a factory worker and Peggy Carter’s (Hayley Atwell) roommate, in an episode of the MCU show ‘Agent Carter’ in 2015. In the second season of the HBO anthology series ‘True Detective’, she appeared as Lacey Lindel, who, afraid that it would negatively affect her career as a celebrity, unsuccessfully offers casual sex to Paul Woodrugh (Taylor Kitsch) after being caught speeding.
Between 2016 and 2017, she shared screen space with Adam Brody, Edi Gathegi, Otmara Marrero, Martin Freeman, and Ron Perlman in the first season of the Sony Crackle web series ‘StartUp’. She also had a recurring role in the E! series ‘The Arrangement’ (2018) as Lisbeth, the former fiancée of Kyle West (Josh Henderson).
