Anna Lucia "Annabelle" Attanasio (born May 11, 1993) is an American actress and filmmaker. She is best known for her role as Cable McCory in Bull (2016–2018).

Early life

[edit]

Anna Lucia Attanasio was born in Los Angeles on May 11, 1993, the daughter of producers Katie Jacobs and Paul Attanasio.[1] Her paternal uncle, Mark Attanasio, is a multimillionaire businessman.[2] Her father's ancestors were Italian immigrants from Positano.[3]

Career

[edit]

Attanasio played Dorothy Walcott in season 2 of the Cinemax drama The Knick.[4] She also appeared in the Netflix original film Barry (2016).

Attanasio was main cast member of the CBS legal drama series Bull, co-created by her father, when it originally premiered in 2016 (Season 1) and through season 2 (2017–2018).[5][6][7] She played Cable McCrory, the team's computer expert.[8] On July 13, 2018, it was revealed that she would not be returning for season 3, leaving for the opportunity to direct a feature film.[9]

Attanasio wrote and directed the film Mickey and the Bear,[10][11][12][13][14] which premiered at South by Southwest 2019.[15] It premiered to critical acclaim, described by The Hollywood Reporter as "a sharp, affecting film that's brimming with darkness and hope, every instant of it vividly alive",[16] and named one of Variety's Best Movies of SXSW.[17] The Washington Post called the film "one of the most exciting breakout films of the year",[18] and RogerEbert.com called it "an almost perfectly realized drama that feels as if it was time-warped in from 40 or 50 years ago, in the tradition of great American cinema chamber pieces like The Last Picture Show, Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore, The Great Santini, and more recently, Winter's Bone".[19] It went on to make its international premiere at the Cannes Film Festival as a part of the Acid Official Selection and later played in competition at the Deauville American Film Festival, where it was distinguished by The New York Times as one of the standout films directed by a female filmmaker.

Attanasio wrote, directed, and starred in the short film Frankie Keeps Talking.[20] She also wrote, directed, and produced the short film Safe Space.[21]
