Tiger was born in Dallas, Texas and moved to Austin, Texas with her parents when she was 2 years old. She is surrounded by a family
of artists (actors, musicians, writers, designers, craftsmen) and began playing violin when she was 18 months old after watching her
older sister, Kitty (then 5 years old), play violin. At age 4 Tiger began taking Irish Step Dancing, and within a year she was competing
against other dancers. Competition and classes occupied much of her free time, and she stopped taking violin lessons in order to focus
on her dancing. She quickly became an award-winning dancer, placing first in a number of competitions. When she was 4 or 5 she also
began to accompany her mother, Peyton Hayslip, to the theater where her mother was performing in various plays. She learned to make
a "cave" under the make-up table and spent hours drawing cartoons and absorbing the life of the theater. When she was 6 she earned
her first voice-over gig as the voice of Daphne in BLITHE SPIRIT.... not long after that she was cast in a State Theater Company main
stage production of The THE TEMPEST as Ariel. Gradually, acting began to take more of her time than dancing, and at the age of 7 realized
she'd really rather act than dance. At 8 she was cast as a lead in the indie feature film YORICK, FOOL OF DENMARK (directed by Johnny
Stranger) as Young Hilda. Shortly after completion of that project she was cast in Robert Rodriguez' SPY KIDS 2, and has been involved
in the film industry ever since. She has worked on 3 Rodriguez films now including SPY KIDS 3D: GAME OVER and THE ADVENTURES OF SHARKBOY
AND LAVAGIRL IN 3D. Independent short films she has worked on include Spencer Parsons' award-winning short ERROR 0 (aka: ONCE AND
FUTURE), Matt Robertson's award-winning THE FAITH OF JOEY RAIL (for which Tiger received a Special Juried Citation for Acting from
Abilene’s WESTfest), Iskra Valtcheva’s IRIS MOON, Harrison Witt’s CHICKENFUT, and Michelle Herrin's DETAILS. Her voice can be heard
in numerous ADV produced anime cartoons including COSPLAY COMPLEX, HAPPY LESSON and MAGICAL PLAY. Tiger is a talented, up-and-coming
young actress with a commanding screen presence... definitely someone to watch! Tiger's most recent feature productions include indie-features
PATHOGEN directed by Emily Hagins in which she plays Christine, and the Burnt Orange Production feature, THE CASSIDY KIDS in which
she stars as Rebecca Vanderpool with Anne Ramsay (Mad About You, Six Feet Under, The L Word), Kadeem Hardison (A Different World),
and Judah Friedlander (American Splendor). Most recently, Tiger completed filming The Anatomy of a Frog, a promo spot for
Little Mismatched Socks, and test scenes from Night Terrors, and Five Time Champion. She is currently editing her directorial
debut film, "Mp3".
Tiger is a straight A honor-roll student attending public school in Austin, Texas. When she is not acting
she enjoys writing screenplays, filming stop-motion animation films, cartooning, composing music (she plays classical, acoustic and
electric guitar, cello, mandolin), training her dog, Widget, hanging out with friends, going to movies and traveling in the States
and abroad.
