BIO: Lisa Ann Walter’s career spans television, film and the stage. She is currently starring as fan favorite Melissa Schemmenti in ABC’s highest rated comedy show, the Emmy-Nominated, SAG AWARD Best Comedy Ensemble Winning, “Abbott Elementary.”
Lisa Ann Walter’s film highlights include stand-out performances as Chessy in “The Parent Trap” with Dennis Quaid, and Bobbie in “Shall We Dance” opposite Richard Gere. Other blockbuster films include “Bruce Almighty” with Jim Carrey and Jennifer Aniston, Steven Spielberg’s “War of the Worlds” with Tom Cruise, and the Lionsgate action comedy, “Killers” with Ashton Kutcher. As a successful stand-up comedian, she’s toured across the US selling out venues and continues to do so today. In early 2026, Walter’s first ever televised Stand-up Special (which she also produced and directed) will be released on Hulu. In addition to her achievements in comedy, Walter also co-created, produced and starred in several network sitcoms: Fox’s “My Wildest Dreams” and ABC’s “Life’s Work” and NBC’s “Dance Your Ass Off.”
As an author: Walter’s memoir, The Best Thing About My Ass Is That It’s Behind Me (Harper Collins/Harper One) is a comedic look at a chronic self-loather and former “chubby” girl trying to make it in the glamorous world of size “0” Hollywood. It reached to #13 on both Amazon and the New York Times Comedic Essays Bestseller List. As an advocate for many years, Walter is on the board of numerous organizations: The Entertainment Community Fund (for whom she won $1 million as Celebrity Jeopardy champion), the ERA Coalition as a long-dedicated Women’s Rights Activist, and the SAG/AFTRA National & Local organization where she was recently elected as the First Vice President of the Los Angeles Local. Walter is most proud of being a working mom of four with “One foot on the Red Carpet…The other at Costco” – and that her stomach is still reasonably flat after being the clown car they all came out of.
