Courtney Blythe Turk is an American actress and producer of Greek and Native American descent. She grew up in the small town of Monroeville, Alabama. She attended Auburn University with a major in mass communications, concentration in sports broadcasting, and a theater minor. Courtney’s career in entertainment was sparked when she landed a role as co-host of the sports travel show Fantactics in 2011. Since then, she has appeared in numerous roles on both film and television, such as VH1’s Hit the Floor and a leading role in both Jaunt VR’s Flesh and Bone and the feature film Black Water.
Courtney earned her first producing role with the feature film The Ticket (Tribeca Film Festival 2016) starring Malin Akerman, Dan Stevens and Oliver Platt. Both her passion and her experience working behind the camera on the film led her to later produce the thriller Assassination Nation (Sundance Film Festival 2018) starring Bella Thorne, Suki Waterhouse, and Bill Skarsgard, Netflix’s To the Bone (Sundance Film Festival 2017) starring Keanu Reeves and Lily Collins, and the award winning documentary The Last Animals (Tribeca Film Festival 2017). She is in development on many other productions, including a police drama inspired by true events with Hidden Empire (Meet the Blacks, Traffik) and a hallucinatory thriller with Terry Rossio (Pirates of the Caribbean) and Bill Marsilii (Deja Vu).
