Trying to be an actress is hard. Here’s the Catch-22: If you don’t have a good agent you can’t get quality work – but, unless you already have a body of quality work, you can’t get a good agent. Nice, huh?

When I was an actress, I landed many parts in short indie films. Here’s the problem. Some wanted me naked (not going to happen). Some lost their budget. Some just had really crappy scripts. And it always seemed like they wanted to shoot at the same time so I lost parts to scheduling conflicts.

But managing to land a part and shoot the film didn’t guarantee that you’d get a final copy of the movie. So many production companies never finished editing the movie. They’d run out of money. Again, nice, huh?

My biggest acting role to date is in the feature-film, Heartland Son. It was the official selection of the New York International Independent Film Festival, the Los Angeles International Independent Film Festival and the Asheville Film Festival – that’s a lot of festivals.

Originally my part, Sadie, called for a dark-haired vixen – and I was very willing to dye my hair. But they loved the new blonde Sadie – and I was cast.I had so much fun playing Sadie. Nobody likes her – she’s the bad girl. Playing a bad girl is far more fun than playing a good girl. More about Heartland Son.

And, hey, buy the movie – watch me freeze my butt off in skimpy clothes!
