Andrew Yackel is an artist and actor from New York. After pursuing both music and illustration in his 20s, Yackel started to focus on acting while living in Pittsburgh, PA. After dozens of independent films and half a dozen plays, Yackel starred in the feature film Gutterbug. In it, he played Steven Bugsby AKA Bug, a homeless runaway who decides to travel back home after a period of drug use and rebellion. Yackel was inspired during the film to move to the Atlanta market, and appeared in his first large SAG productions shortly after. He delivered a frightening performance in DC Universe's Swamp Thing, appearing as Todd in the 4th episode. In addition to film Yackel is also a freelance artist, and occasionally gets the chance to blend the two worlds together; he designed a striking poster for the Gutterbug premiere at Dances With Films at the Chinese Theatre in LA.
