RADAR: Elizabeth & Emily Hinkler
Emily and Elizabeth Hinkler, currently starring in Paramount+’s “Good Burger 2.”
Emily and Elizabeth (both they/she) never grew out of playing pretend. Growing up without access to many resources, their unique bond and unconditional acceptance of one another amalgamated into a world of their own: an incubation of creativity and belonging.
The stories and characters the Hinklers share today are an outgrowth of that: of knowing someone so intimately, you feel their heart as if it were your own. Passionate about sharing storytelling experiences that explore the intricacies of life’s moments and relationships, their work holds space for unification and individuality. As they were gifted with the safety and nurturance to truly be themselves, storytelling is their way to create connection and understanding.
The Hinklers’ two-person play won the Hollywood Fringe’s Duende Distinction Award for best acting, and were nominated for best acting at the Stage Raw Awards. Elizabeth was in the Top 20 Actors of 2020 with Casting Society of America’s Inclusion and Diversity Committee, and Emily was nominated for Best Ensemble by CinEuphoria for Boy Erased.
Previous work together includes memorable roles on The Good Doctor, Adam Sandler’s Sandy Wexler, Tyler Perry’s Boo 2! A Madea Halloween, Chicago Med, and Good Burger 2. When not creating their own work, the Hinklers enjoy myriads of crafts, learning ASL, making homemade jam, foraging, and stained glass. They are based in Los Angeles.
