Himani Jamwal

“Seven schools in three countries. I have a habit of walking into new rooms and finding the people in them.”

Himani Jamwal is an actor based in Los Angeles, where she is pursuing a B.A. in Dramatic Arts at the USC School of Dramatic Arts. She works across stage, screen and voice, and sings soprano.

Her stage credits include Madama Balaclava in The Canterville Ghost, Miss Mason in The Hundred Dresses (selected for the competitive round of the Massachusetts Educational Theater Guild state festival), Carol and Barbara Zimmer in Tina Howe's Museum, for which she received an METG Certificate for Acting, Madame de la Grande Bouche in the musical Beauty and the Beast, and Gonzalo in The Tempest. She was named Best Thespian at Weston High School in 2025. As a writer and director, she developed the original one-act Tales from the Trail from first draft to full production, leading a cast and crew of seven. With more than twelve years of choral experience, she has performed as a lead vocalist and in a cappella ensembles, and trained with the Boston University Summer Theatre Institute.

Himani grew up across Singapore, Canada and the United States, seven schools in three countries, and has a habit of walking into new rooms and finding the people in them. Alongside acting she draws, animates and designs, work that feeds her approach to character and voice, particularly for animation and games.
