Abigail Hawk is a New York-based actor, singer, writer, humanitarian, and mom. She began performing theatrically at the age of six and landed her first television role at twelve. Hawk graduated magna cum laude from the University of Maryland with a degree in theatre performance.
Hawk is most recognizable as Detective Abigail Baker on CBS’ Blue Bloods. Other TV and film credits include Law and Order: SVU, Body of Proof, The Jim Gaffigan Show, Are We There Yet?, Distemper, A Christmas in Vermont (opposite Chevy Chase), My Wife’s Hidden Lover, Almost Paris, and Under the Stadium Lights (with Laurence Fishburne). She returned to the NY stage in 2018 in Dorothy Lyman’s In the Bleak Midwinter. In Fall 2022, Abigail made her off-Broadway debut at Signature Theatre in Grant Macdermott’s Jasper.
Hawk most recently stars in the award-winning and groundbreaking film Daruma which premiered to two sold out screenings at Slamdance in Park City, UT. CNN called the film the first film in US history to star two leads with disabilities in a narrative about overcoming a disability. Oscar winner Peter Farrelly signed on to executive produce the film in 2024. She shared the screen with Media Access Award Best Actor recipient Tobias Forrest and Slamdance Grand Jury Best Acting recipient John W. Lawson. The film also stars screen legend Barry Bostwick.
Hawk is the recipient of the Long Island International Film Expo’s 2019 Creative Achievement Award. She has performed original songs at NYC’s The Bitter End, CBGB’s, and The Duplex. She co-authored The Unofficial Guide to Surviving Pregnancy Without Losing Your Mind, and her poetry has been featured in Good Little Girls ‘Zine and Tupelo Press’ 30/30 Project.
She enjoys working with Habitat for Humanity, Covenant House, and HeartShare Human Services of New York, who honored her with The Linda Dano Heart Award. She is a four-time past Honorary Co-Chair of ADAPT Community Network, a leading non-profit organization and a pioneer in providing cutting-edge programs and services that improve the quality of life for people with disabilities, and has hosted their annual Leadership Awards twice. She has delivered keynote speeches across the country on topics ranging from motherhood to the vitality of art in education.
Hawk is a proud member of SAG-AFTRA and Actor’s Equity Association. She resides on Long Island with her busy, beautiful family: husband, two sons, three dogs, one cat, five fish, and probably a future bearded dragon or axolotl. In her (almost nonexistent) free time, she continues to write her first novel.
