Lindsley was born and raised in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia alongside two older brothers, a younger sister, and always a couple of animals by John, a financial advisor, and Lila Register, a high school science teacher. She began acting seriously in college, when she ditched a TESL (Teaching English as a Second Language) major to pursue a degree in acting. After graduating with a double major in theatre performance and theatre education, she hit the ground running, and within the first year of her professional career, secured an agent and booked roles on some of the hottest shows. Her most notable credits include a costarring role opposite Kevin Spacey on House of Cards, The History Channel’s new show Six as a series regular, and most recently a recurring costar role on AMC’s The Walking Dead.
Lindsley lives where the work takes her, alongside her cats Beowulf and Grendl, frequently spotted in Thai Restaurants.
