Macon born actress may turn heads in new role

Macon native Hannah Kasulka, who recently was featured in a Lifetime movie, can be seen Friday in the premiere of “The Exorcist.”

Kasulka, who recently has starred in the movie “The Cheerleader Murders,” for Lifetime and in the series “Filthy Preppy Teen$,” also has had featured roles on “The Foster,” “How to Get Away with Murder,” “True Blood” and “Nashville.”

Kasulka, who lives in Los Angeles, is playing the daughter of actress Geena Davis in “The Exorcist” on Fox. The show is described on the Fox website as “a propulsive psychological thriller following two very different priests tackling one family’s case of horrifying demonic possession.”

When interviewed by The Telegraph in April, she had just finished filming the pilot for the show in Chicago. She then described her role in the show as the “wallflower of the family.”

The actress is the daughter of Kristy and Shane Bridges of Macon and John Malone of Barnesville. Her first acting gig was at Macon Little Theatre.
