Hi.

Tyler Poelle was born and raised in Northern California. He enrolled at Occidental College as a pre-med student, but quickly learned that he wanted to be on the TV show ‘ER,’ not in an ER. Tyler corrected his course and graduated with a BFA in acting from the prestigious Carnegie Mellon University where he developed a love for the Pittsburgh Steelers and the art of Andy Warhol. 

After doing classical regional theater and avant-garde-downtown theater in New York City, he moved to Los Angeles. He’s told jokes on many network multi and single camera sitcoms, he’s cried and been terrified on many network dramas, and he’s even made out with a bunch of folks in indie movies. One of his favorite weeks on set was working with and befriending the incomparable Betty White, a hero of his from childhood. Having played a ‘doctor’ and getting to ‘be on a spaceship,’ the only thing left in his boyhood acting-trifecta-dream is to play a ‘cowboy.’ Yes he can ride a horse. And no, nobody has asked, yet.  
 
Tyler’s first feature film script to be produced as a writer was PRICELESS, a dark tale set inside the sex trafficking business in the Southwest. His two other feature scripts, A WOLF AT THE DOOR, a father’s story of recovery and redemption, and BROTHER’S KEEPER, a multi-generational betrayal, are currently being shopped around. He almost wrote a comedy once…then didn’t. 

As the proud single father to his daughter, Aurora, Tyler spends an enormous amount of time pretending to be any number of father’s to various princesses. It’s not a stretch. An independent panel of scientists has agreed that Aurora is the smartest and most captivating little girl on planet Earth.

Tyler writes and records music in the band, "Petrov, the Hero," loves origami, and has a mild obsession with lemon bars.
