Abbie grew up in Nebraska as the youngest of three sisters. After obsessively watching Shirley Temple movies as a young child, she decided she'd love nothing more than to pursue acting as soon as she could. She performed in school plays and community theatre until she graduated, then moved out to LA. She landed her first role on Disney's Starstruck and continued working with Disney Channel on shows like Pair of Kings, Good Luck Charlie: It's Christmas!, Jonas:LA, and Imagination Movers. She eventually moved on to guest star on other networks, in shows like American Horror Story, NCIS: LA and New Orleans, Grey's Anatomy, The Mentalist, and TrueBlood.

Forever sixteen, Abbie Cobb landed the recurring role of "Kimantha" on the popular ABC series, Suburgatory. She also co-stars in the feature films: Mom's Night Out, from TriStar Pictures, the period drama, The Umbrella Man, and Lifetime's Unauthorized 90210 Story. Most recently, she starred in the ABC drama pilot, Warriors, and CW's pilot, "Cheerleader Death Squad." Prior to "Suburgatory", Cobb had recurring roles on both CW's 90210 and ABC Family's The Secret Life of the American Teenager.
Abbie enjoys filling up her weeks with work in TV, film, and theatre, but she also knows how hard it is to break into acting in Los Angeles, so she spends her spare time sharing what she has learned from the process. Mentoring and connecting, one-on-one, with aspiring actors is a big part of her life; it thrills her to help out newcomers and keep them from falling into the typical traps in Hollywood! Abbie is a sought-after keynote speaker at acting conferences and workshops, where she shares her book, "Stuck on a Ferris Wheel", to inform and encourage actors.
