Amanda Prasow was born in Princeton, New Jersey and moved with her family to Toronto at the age of six.
She holds an Honors B.A. (Drama Specialist) from the University of Toronto and studied contemporary dance and dance theater at Lancaster University in England.
A keen interest in international development and documentary-making led her to the South Pacific island nation of Vanuatu. From 2007-2009, she served as a Peace Corps volunteer and directed her first documentary, Kokoru-Kamam (currently in post-production).
She then moved to Auckland, New Zealand where she became a core improviser with Auckland Playback Theater as well as Clown Doctors New Zealand, an affiliate of Red Noses International. She dipped more than a toe in the water in the Wet Hot Beauties' Fringe hit Sirens, and played the title role in A.R Gurney's Sylvia at the PumpHouse Theatre.
She now lives in New York and is a member of SAG-AFTRA and Actors' Equity Association.
