Danielle Pinnock is a dynamic actor-creator-writer who has quickly established herself as one of Hollywood’s most versatile new talents. Recently honored with the 2025 NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series, Danielle currently stars as a series regular on CBS’s hit comedy series, GHOSTS, which has been renewed for a fifth and sixth season. Danielle has a hilarious, breakout role in the ensemble as ‘Alberta’, a Prohibition-era lounge singer turned ghost who is trapped in a modern-day country estate, inherited by two new tenants. Last holiday season, she appeared alongside Eddie Murphy and Tracee Ellis Ross in the holiday comedy film CANDY CANE LANE on Prime Video. As a creator, it was announced that her adult-aimed animated series, UNMENTIONABLES, about mismatched underwear and the millennial human who wears them, is being developed for television by Emmy-winning producer Anthony Hemingway and Taraji P. Henson. Danielle co-created the series with Emmy-nominated Punam Patel (SPECIAL). Television audiences will recognize Danielle from four seasons on the hit CBS comedy YOUNG SHELDON, where she recurs as ‘Ms. Ingram’, Sheldon’s math teacher. She has also memorably recurred opposite Ray Romano and Peter Bogdanovich in EPIX’s GET SHORTY and guest-starred on HBO’s Emmy-nominated A BLACK LADY SKETCH SHOW, created and executive produced by Robin Thede and Issa Rae. Her other notable guest appearances include THIS IS US, SCANDAL, THIS FOOL, among others. In addition, her voice work has been heard on Netflix’s BOSS BABY: BACK IN BUSINESS, Cartoon Network’s THUNDERCATS ROAR, and Peacock’s WHERE’S WALDO? Danielle’s creative prowess extends beyond scripted comedy. As she takes the lead in developing an unscripted series, functioning as both creator and host, Danielle introduces a unique concept centered around vow renewals, giving couples the opportunity to rewrite their wedding stories under her guidance. This series is based on her own personal wedding and vow-renewal story, which she co-EPs with her husband, Jack Wallace. As a multi-hyphenate talent, Danielle Pinnock’s laugh-out-loud social media platform @BODYCOURAGE has earned global recognition for its bold humor and a peek inside Danielle’s life as a plus-size actress in the entertainment industry. Mentored by Anna Deavere Smith, Danielle is a classically trained stage actress and playwright, notable for her solo show, BODY/COURAGE, a rich exploration of body acceptance which she created from over 300 real-life interview subjects whose words and spirits she evokes in a thrilling one-woman show. She has also appeared Off-Broadway and at the Edinburgh Fringe in the prize-winning play, IN CONFLICT. And, she has performed at major regional theaters including Geffen Playhouse in Los Angeles, Goodman Theatre in Chicago, and D.C.’s famed Kennedy Center, among many others. Raised in Northern New Jersey by her mother and grandmother, Pinnock is a proud first-generation Jamaican American.

She currently resides in Los Angeles. Danielle is represented by Aligned Entertainment, Independent Artists Group [IAG], and Wolf-Kasteler.
