Bio
Mackinlee Waddell is an American actress best known for her recurring role as McKinney Peacham on the short-lived comedy-drama television series GCB, in 2012.
Waddell was born in Dallas, Texas. As a young child she faced many challenges with her heart including open heart surgery at the young age of five. This led to a miraculous recovery which then led to opportunities to do speaking and charity events for the Children's Miracle Network and Children's Medical Center in Dallas starting at the age of eight.
Mackinlee's maturity and poise during large speaking events led her parents to put her in acting classes at the age of 13. She blossomed at her acting skills immediately signing with a Dallas agent and within months was auditioning in the Los Angeles market and being represented by an LA agent.
In August 2011 Mackinlee landed a recurring role on the ABC show GCB playing McKinney Peacham. She has done several short films and feature independent films such as Searching for Sonny starring Minka Kelly and Jason Dohring.
In May 2011 Mackinlee completed her second feature film in LA, Den of Darkness, in which she had a large supporting role.
When she's not acting, Mackinlee loves to read, dance, and come up with unique comedic characters that she loves to incorporate in her improv acting troupe.
She also does numerous volunteer events each year for the Children's Miracle Network to help raise money for non-profit hospitals so all children without insurance can receive the best health care.
