Garrett
Bettersworth

Garrett Bettersworth was born and raised in New Braunfels Texas.  As a young boy, Garrett loved to tell and act out stories. This hunger to

bring fiction to life drove Garrett to the stage, and he begin performing in many plays and musicals in his hometown. At age 12, Garrett secured his first lead role as the Genie in a Jr production of Aladdin.  This love for performing eventually led Garrett to pursue a career in theatre, tv, film, and animation.  Since then, he has dedicated himself to the art of acting.  In 2019, he starred in The Children’s Crusade,  a short film about the struggles of war.  In 2020, he lent his voice to the character of Tim in The Glove, a web comic series.  Most recently he was Dennis in NBPA’s production of Rock of Ages and was featured in Netflix’s english dub of Romantic Killer.

 

As a teacher, Garrett wants to gift the next generation of actors with what he has learned on his own journey so that acting as an art can evolve and become more engaging for future performers and audience members. If you ask Garrett what he loves most about acting, he will tell you that it is the delivery of the story to the audience - what an amazing experience.  In fact, Garrett and his mother, Sherry Bettersworth, with the help of many others, formed a local non-profit theatre company called The New Braunfels Performing Arts Center, which continues to provide the community with quality entertainment.

 

Garrett Graduated from Northeast School of The Arts in 2018 and now holds a BFA in Acting for film and TV From Hussian College Los Angeles.  When he's is not working, Garrett loves to return to his hometown to assist with performances at the NBPA, and pay it forward to the next generation of story tellers.
