Claudia Minor Troyer is a Brooklyn-based, Blue Ridge Mountain-born actor, writer, and musician.





Raised in the woods and fields of Virginia's Piedmont region, Claudia has built a home in the wilds of New York City, and brings an adventurer's heart and a passion for discovery to every project.Nothing fires up Claw’s spirit quite like the raw, electric energy that ignites every space where artists come together to create. All storytelling is collaborative, the product of an unspoken compact between shapers and audience; to share in the wild joys and awesome responsibilities inherent in crafting and sharing stories is one of the greatest privileges of Claudia's life.Claw is a 2025 graduate of William Esper Studio’s Two Year Full Time conservatory program, as well as a member of the William Esper Studio Career Launch Program's inaugural cohort.Outside of acting, Claudia carries a bone-deep and lifelong love of wilderness wandering and sleeping outside, and takes occasional paddling and solo bikepacking and backpacking trips to balance out city living. Other creative pursuits include writing plays and poetry, songwriting, and playing various instruments (with varying degrees of success.)
