 So...you want to know about Pamela, huh? Well...lets start at the beginning. Pamela began her acting career pretty much at birth. Her imagination always got her into trouble, so...she had to come up with creative ways to get out of trouble. This usually involved blaming her older brothers for everything. At the age of 18, Pamela started taking Martial Arts with Champion Karate Centers under instructor John Maynard. With years of training in dance and gymnastics, Karate proved to be a fun and challenging outlet for her. She achieved the rank of green belt before she left for college to attend East Carolina University. At ECU, Pamela studied Graphic and Image design where she spent countless hours either glued to a computer screen or locked up in the photography lab. Don't let this fool you though, this is where she was most happy. While in college, Pam met Bill McDonald, who became her mentor and Martial Arts sensei. She began assistant teaching and eventually achieved the rank of Black Belt. During an art class, Pamela discovered her affection for Asian languages and art. At, this point, she decided to take some Japanese language classes which landed her the AIEJ Foreign Student Exchange Scholarship to attend Osaka University in Osaka, Japan. During her 6 month stay, Pam studied Japanese language, reading, writing, art, and of course, Martial Arts. After graduating college, Pamela moved home to Wilmington, NC. Once home, her passion for acting surfaced again, with a vengence. She started taking acting classes at The American Studio of Acting with instructor Mick McGovern. While taking classes, she met Irene Slater, a dear friend and mentor as well. Pamela worked with Irene on Darktales, The Series, an independent TV Pilot. Ashley McDaid, (actress extraordinare) is the one to blame for Pam's acting bug. They went to classes, auditions and pretty much everywhere together. After a few months Pamela got an agent, and shortly after that...her first audition for Moxie Pictures. This audition landed her the lead Principle in a commercial for ESPN by Director Todd Phillips, starring opposite sports caster Dick Vitale. She has also had several auditions for the award winning casting agency in Wilmington, NC, Fincannon & Associates. Since then, Pam has been involved in several independent features, such as Sins of the Jedi, and upcoming release Into the Night. She has also been involved in and supported the NC Film Industry to help stop Run-Away Films Well...thats about it for a short history. We hope you have enjoyed our little insight into the mind of Pamela, hope it wasn't too boring and that you will come again! If you wanna know more...email Pamela at pjmarr@hotmail.com. |
