Justin Blanchard is an American actor whose work spans Broadway, television, film, theatre, and radio. A member of both SAG-AFTRA and the Actors' Equity Association, he grew up in San Antonio, Texas and is based in Los Angeles, California.

Blanchard attended Texas Military Institute, where he achieved the rank of Lieutenant Colonel and served as a Company Commander in the school's Corps of Cadets.

He has also appeared in commercials for Oscar De La Renta and the MTV Safe Sex campaign.

In film, Blanchard has co-starred in The Middleman, directed by Heath Cullens, Over There, directed by Mark Parees, and Alyssa & Sara, directed by Josh Wick. His voice work includes audiobook recordings of Romeo and Juliet and A Midsummer Night's Dream, a podcast adaptation of a play by J.M. Barrie, and contributions to video games and commercials.
