On screen, she has appeared in episodes of NCIS: Naval Criminal Investigative Service (2003), SEAL Team (2017), General Hospital (1963) and she had all the judges fooled in her appearance on To Tell the Truth (2016). She is a US Army Iraq War combat veteran and holds a masters degree in journalism from the University of California Berkeley's Graduate School of Journalism and a B.S. in sociology and cultural anthropology from The College of William & Mary. With training in a variety of martial arts and weapons (from East to West), she feels most comfortable with a sword or staff in her hand. She is a member of SAG/AFTRA, The Television Academy and The International Animated Film Society. A consummate geek, Linsay is host of the weekly geek talk show, The Roll Out, on YouTube and loves playing Dungeons & Dragons. From Doctor Who to Horizon Zero Dawn, she's got a passion (and t-shirt) for all things geeky and is a huge advocate for expanding diversity and inclusivity within the geek community. As the Doctor would say: Space. For all. Linsay spent several decades performing on stage before making the transition to voice-over and on-camera work. She has trained with Larry Moss and at Steppenwolf, the Berkeley Repertory School of Theatre, Studio A.C.T. at the American Conservatory Theater, The Groundlings, The Second City, Impro Studio, the Susan Angelo Shakespeare Studio and the Rachael Adler Studio. She has extensive training in hand-to-hand combat, wushu, muay thai, Historical European Martial Arts (HEMA), firearms and military tactics. She is also an accomplished musician and classically trained singer, proficient in a variety of musical styles. The child of two National Park Rangers, she had a fairly non-traditional upbringing and had lived in six different states by the time she was in high school. With all the moving, it was her involvement in music, theatre, dance and sports that kept her focused and grounded. Perhaps there was something in all that fresh air, because both Linsay and her brother ended up in the entertainment industry. Linsay dove into the world of acting, while her brother Bryant Burnett, has become a successful stuntman and stunt rigger. While Linsay has been a performer her entire life, she took a few detours along the way. She is a former investigative reporter with a masters degree in journalism from The University of California's Graduate School of Journalism. She worked as an associate producer, reporter and researcher for Frontline (1983) and was one of four Carnegie Fellows chosen to work with the Brian Ross Investigative Reporting Unit at ABC News in New York. Her masters thesis, Frontline: Rape in the Fields (2013), went on to be produced by PBS Frontline, the Center for Investigative Reporting and Univision. The documentary has won the Alfred I. duPont-Colombia Award, John F. Kennedy Journalism Award, Public Radio News Directors Award and was nominated for an Emmy Award for Outstanding Investigative Journalism. Prior to attending Berkeley, she served as a combat photographer/videographer and public affairs sergeant for the U.S. Army's 1st Brigade Combat Team, 101st Airborne Division. She spent a year in the northern Iraq province of Kirkuk documenting and reporting on combat and humanitarian operations for her unit and was also briefly attached to ODA 183 Special Forces documenting their operations. As a veteran, she works to give back to the community as an ambassador for the non-profit organization Pin-Ups for Vets and communications coordinator for Continue to Serve. Before the Army, when she wasn't on stage or playing music, much of her time was focused on human rights and environmental causes. She worked for Amnesty International, focusing predominantly on women's and LGBTQIA rights. While at William & Mary, as student body president, she lead the charge to reform the campus's sexual assault policy, helped with organizational efforts to unionize the maintenance, cafeteria and housekeeping staff, worked to improve the campus's environmental standards and encouraged the university to divest funds from organizations known for their human right's abuses. While she many not have taken the most direct route to Hollywood, she brings all of this passion and experience to her performances and all the work she does.
