Amanda Schull (born August 26, 1978) is an American actress and former professional ballet dancer. She is best known for her lead role in the 2000 film Center Stage and for her recurring roles on One Tree Hill, Pretty Little Liars, and Suits. She currently stars in the Syfy television series 12 Monkeys.

Schull was born in Honolulu, Hawaii. She attended Punahou School and trained at Hawaii State Ballet under the instruction of John Landovsky.

Schull was offered a full scholarship to Indiana University for ballet. While at Indiana University, she joined Delta Delta Delta. During her sophomore year (as a ballet and journalism major), she attended the San Francisco Ballet School Summer Intensive. SFBS subsequently offered Schull a scholarship to continue her studies for an additional year.

When Schull's year-long scholarship ended in 1999, San Francisco Ballet's artistic director offered her an apprenticeship which she accepted. After filming Center Stage, she subsequently joined SFB as a full-time member of its corps de ballet.

Schull was cast in the starring role of Jody Sawyer in the 2000 movie Center Stage while still an apprentice with the San Francisco Ballet. Later that same year, she was cast as Davina Mayhan, the title character's older sister on the hit YTV sitcom My Family and Me. She portrayed the character from the show's third season to the last.
