Dale Dickey

Dale Dickey is the kind of actor whose face you recognize long before you know her name, and I mean that as the highest compliment. She built her foundation on stage, going all the way back to a 1989 Broadway run of The Merchant of Venice, before becoming one of those character actors directors trust to ground a scene. Two Ovation Awards out of Los Angeles tell me her theater chops are no afterthought. What I admire is the lack of vanity in her work; she leans into hard, lived-in roles instead of chasing glamour, and that honesty is exactly why she keeps getting cast.

Diana Dale Dickey is an American character actor who has worked in theater, film, and television. She began her career on stage, performing in the 1989 Broadway version of The Merchant of Venice, before appearing in popular revivals of A Streetcar Named Desire, Sweeney Todd and more off-Broadway and in regional theaters. She's the recipient of two Ovation Awards for her stage work in Los Angeles.
