Whitney Sloan began her career - in Theatre - at the tender age of five. The next nine years of her life were spent performing in every play she could get her hands on, whilst moving schools/countries/States constantly. After many remarkable performances on the London and San Francisco stage (most recently Maria in "Westside Story", Hodel in "Fiddler on the Roof", and Juliet in "Romeo and Juliet"), Sloan headed to Los Angeles to pursue a career in film and television. Her original plan of only spending a summer there (living with her father who currently resides in LA) was abandoned after immediately nabbing roles on the hit shows "Judging Amy", "General Hospital", and the independent film "State's Evidence". That summer proved particularly successful for the intelligent Ms. Sloan, as she was accepted into an extremely prestigious academic High School only weeks before school was to resume. Transitioning beautifully from her low key, Northern California Public School life to one of academic rigor and the cutthroat industry, Whitney managed to shoot two films ("Blue Demon" and "Glass Trap"), star in a school production (Lilian Hellman's "The Children's Hour"), and maintain remarkable grades for the duration of her sophomore year. She recently completed her Junior year, starred in the Disney Channel original movie "Go Figure" and the ABC sitcom pilot "Joint Custody" (playing Marilu Henner's rebellious punk daughter). After working back to back for months, this dedicated student has made studying for and taking the S.A.Ts her main priority right now.Though acting is her passion, Whitney is incredibly interested in Law and the Government (particularly Intelligence and Investigation agencies) and plans to major in Political Science. She is building her career as an actress whilest working towards potential careers in either the CIA, the FBI, or as an attorney.
