Film-making was in Andrew Bernstein’s blood, with his earliest memories from the film and television sets of his father, Walter Bernstein, an Academy Award-nominated screenwriter. Tagging along, Bernstein was exposed from an early age to some of the industry’s great actors, directors, and writers. Bernstein’s directing career began with Rooftop Kisses, the festival award winning short starring Allison Janney, Maura Tierney, and Anton Yelchin. After that, he went on to direct multiple episodes of a variety of highly rated series, including: The West Wing, ER, Mad Men, Psych, House, Parenthood, Elementary, Low Winter Sun, Tyrant, and Baz Luhrman’s Netflix series The Get Down. He also has served as a producer and executive producer on Mercy, Criminal Minds Suspect Behavior, Pan Am, House, Battle Creek, and now Fear The Walking Dead.

Dickens currently stars in AMC’s critically acclaimed series Fear The Walking Dead. The companion series to The Walking became the number one rated cable series launch on record with 10.1 million viewers in 2015 and is set to return for a third season in Summer 2017. Dickens recently completed production on Craig William Macneill’s biographical thriller Lizzie, which follows the true events about Lizzie Borden, who was acquitted for the ax-murders of her father and stepmother in Fall River, Massachusetts in 1892. Additional credits for Dickens include: Tim Burton’s Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children; David Fincher’s critically acclaimed psychological thriller Gone Girl opposite Ben Affleck and Rosamund Pike; HBO’s award winning drama Treme, in which she co-starred from 2010 to 2013; John Lee Hancock’s Oscar-nominated The Blind Side; NBC’s smash hit Friday Night Lights, in a co-starring role from 2008 to 2009; a guest arc in ABC’s Emmy and Golden Globe Award winning series Lost; the Golden Globe Award Nominated satirical comedy Thank You for Smoking; HBO’s Golden Globe Award Winning drama series Deadwood; and opposite Gabriel Mann in Allison Anders’ The Things Behind the Sun.

Born in Huntsville, Alabama, Dickens attended Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee, where she majored in communication. Soon after graduation, she moved to New York City to continue her studies at the Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute. She later graduated from the American Academy of Dramatic Art’s two-year performing arts conservatory in New York City.
