Testimonials and Reviews
Oscar-Nominee Derek Cianfrance, Director, Blue Valentine
"I feel [finding Faith] was one of the reasons we had to wait 12 years".
"She's fully herself...Everything about her, from the way she talks, to the way she tells stories, to the way she listens, to her attentiveness and openness to people. She doesn't have fear."
"Faith was just a champ. She went into this house with Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams and just became their daughter"
"Faith just had this internal world and this imagination ... she was a magical little person."
Reviews: The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time
"Faith Wladyka, MCAS ’26, delivers a stellar performance as the protagonist. From her repeated hand gestures to constant rocking back and forth, her portrayal of a girl on the spectrum surpasses any expectations the audience could have." - The Heights
"Starring Faith Wladyka in the role of Chris Boone, this play follows a young, neurodivergent protagonist who looks to solve the murder case of a local neighborhood dog, only to discover a life-changing secret in the process...Interestingly, the play was originally written with a male lead, [Christopher]; director Luke Jorgensen reached out to the playwright for permission to have Chris be a female instead, allowing him to cast Wladyka in the role. This change took the message of the play to a new level" - The Gavel
The Long Island Herald
"Malverne’s resident starlet, Faith Wladyka, has built a résumé that would leave many show business types envious, acting alongside the likes of Ryan Gosling, Justin Timberlake, Paul Rudd and One Direction"
"Faith’s other TV appearances [in addition to Saturday Night Live] have included commercials for SONY (beside Peyton Manning and Timberlake), Polident and AT&T, and the soap opera “One Life to Live.” She made her movie debut in the 2010 romantic drama “Blue Valentine,” which starred Gosling and Michelle Williams as a couple whose marriage is disintegrating."
