Emily Tyndall is an American actress from Utah who made her acting debut in Napoleon Dynamite in 2004, under her maiden name Emily Kennard. She changed her name to Tyndall due to her marriage to Spencer Tyndall on July 17, 2004.
Emily, the youngest of six children, always loved creating stories, music, pictures and any other form of entertainment. However, one time she told her mom, Nancy, that she was bored. Nancy replied, "Creative people never get bored." Emily wanted to be a creative person. So she never told her mom she was bored again. In fact, Emily hasn't actually been bored ever since!
When not in dance, singing, or art classes, Emily kept busy writing songs or stories and putting on puppet shows and plays. Nancy generously drove Emily around to dance classes, competitions, singing lessons, art classes, and community theater. Emily also focused many of those years to train specifically in ballroom dancing. At fifteen she was partnered with Spencer Tyndall. During the many years of their partnership, they developed a very deep friendship which led to their marriage in 2004.
In college, Emily studied MDT (Music, Dance, and Theater) as well as illustration. She spent two years performing with Brigham Young University's international touring company, the Young Ambassadors. Then in 2005, she received her bachelor of fine arts degree in illustration.
Now happily married, Emily continues to pursue her performing and art careers with the strong support of her husband, Spencer. She currently creates textures, concept art and 3D models for video games at Disney's development studio in Utah. She also continues to audition and book roles in feature films and commercials as projects come along.
Her credits include:
Napoleon Dynamite
Pirates of the Great Salt Lake
Hannah Montana: Spotlight World Tour

"We all admire the spangled acrobat with classical grace meticulously walking his tight rope in the talcum light; but how much rarer art there is in the sagging rope expert wearing scarecrow clothes and impersonating a grotesque drunk! I should know." (Vladimir Nabokov) Thank you for your friendship! Musical greetings from Munich/Germany! Feel free to download my music, dear Emily!
