Biography

Evan Mulrooney was born and raised in Wilmington, Delaware. Evan found acting while at the University of Maryland on a football scholarship after being told by his academic advisers that he most likely wouldn’t find work in an office and/or “professional” workplace. With that knowledge, he was enrolled in an acting class and hasn’t looked back since (because his dreams of becoming a finance officer had been shattered). After moving to Chicago in 2016, Evan found his home within the comedy scene performing regularly at The Annoyance Theatre. He has gained traction within the television (Fargo, Justified: City Primeval, South Side), film (Start Without Me (2022)), and commercial worlds (Planet Fitness, Casey’s, OnCor, Illinois Lottery). He is a student of Aaron Speiser and Kay Aston's at The Screen Acting Studio in Los Angeles. He is also an alumni of Acting Studio Chicago, The Annoyance Theater, iO Chicago, and CiC.
