DATE OF BIRTH: December 24, 1976

BACKGROUND: I honestly don't have a background in acting. In fact, I never really considered it before. I am very thankful to be a part of this production though. I've always been more of a singer. I love performing at various functions. I've even been a part of several signing contests, although unsuccessful, I enjoyed the experience. One day I'd like to get the opportunity to sing on camera, but for now I'll stick to the karaoke bars. LOL

ACTING EXPERIENCE: As stated above, I have never really acted before...ok, there was this one time in third grade, I played a molar in our school play about dental hygiene. LOL Other than that, this is a new experience for me.

ACTING INFLUENCES: I absolutely adore Angelina Jolie. I love her work, as well as her personal attitude about life in general. I also enjoy Winona Ryder. Although her personal life may be controversial these days, her work amazes me. As far as men go, I think Billy Zane is a very underrated actor. Yes ladies, he may be adorable, but his ability to bring a character to life goes beyond any good looks.

ON ACTING: It's basically something that I never saw myself doing. I guess I just never considered it, because I certainly have nothing against it. In fact, I admire everyone who goes out there and does it. I'm always telling people to follow their hearts and dreams, yet I rarely practice what I preach. For instance, I absolutely love singing in public now, however, I limited myself to my bedroom with my stuffed animals as an audience until about 3 or 4 years ago!!! Now I love it more than anything. I am very excited to be involved in this production. I am really looking forward to working with such an experienced cast, I'm hoping to learn a thing or two.

ON CLARISSA: Although it's a small role, I'm happy with Louis' choice on casting me as Clarissa. She seems like a confident young woman. I like that.

ON THIS MOVIE: I can't stress it enough, I am SO happy to be a part of this movie. I have known Louis for many years and I've always admired his creative abilities. This script just about sums up his views on how people, even life in itself, can change after only a few years. When you're younger, things seem to be perfect and we never look far enough into the future to realize that it won't always stay that way. This movie shows "a day in the life" of a guy who slowly comes to grips with that.

PERSONAL QUOTE: Go out there and try something new, something you thought you'd never do. "I'll take the physical challenge" -- Double Dare LOL I couldn't have said it better myself!!
