Julian Abelskamp is an actor and recent transplant from New York to Los Angeles. He received his MFA from Columbia University, as well as certificates in acting from the Atlantic Acting School and the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama in London.

Julian most recently appeared as Toby Darling in The Inheritance at the Geffen Playhouse. He also spent several seasons at the Williamstown Theatre Festival, where credits include Alien/Nation (dir. Michael Arden), Taiga in the Berkshires, Faded: A Calypso, and A Legendary Romance (dir. Lonny Price). Other credits include A Midsummer Night’s Dream (Classical Theatre of Harlem); Tomorrow Will Be Sunday (Chautauqua Theatre Company); and Voices from a Pandemic (Chautauqua/Notch Theatre). Favorite shows from his time at Columbia include Moscow x6 by Halley Feiffer, Measure for Measure, and Uncle Vanya.

As a teacher, he returned to Columbia’s MFA program as adjunct faculty for the Spring ’23 / ‘24 semesters and as a coach on 2nd and 3rd year productions. He’s also worked with ASTEP (now Arts Ignite!) and completed the Roundabout Theatre Company Teaching Artist Training Program.

Julian is a big believer in using the body to liberate the actor’s full potential and loves passing on what he’s learned to fellow artists! www.julianabelskamp.com
