Law & Order: Special Victims Unit

On Set with ep.4 dir. Peter Leto 

On August 27, 2010 I completed production in my first primetime television role on Law & Order:  Special Victims Unit.  It was an amazing experience from beginning to end.  This was my first SAG principal role so there was much to learn about SAG productions along the way.  Thankfully, the SVU family welcomed me with open arms!

The episode, "Merchandise" is set to air on October 6th and I can't wait to see it.  The role is small but my scene will appear in the first few minutes of the episode (they call this the teaser).  If you have a smaller role, this is where you want to be.  We shot on location near Chinatown and the scene included stunt work from the SVU team and about 150 extras!  

I am so grateful for this career elevating experience and I can't wait to work on my next SAG production.  Many thanks to casting director Jonathan Strauss for providing me with this awesome opportunity!

The Nightwatcher

I was recently invited to attend a performance of "The Night Watcher" by fellow actress Joressa Blount. Joressa had seen the show before and got together a group to see it again with her because she had enjoyed it so much. The one woman show stars Charlayne Woodard (dir. Daniel Sullivan) and weaves together several stories about how Charlayne, although childless herself, has at times been a surrogate mother, mentor, and friend to the many children in her life. This is a great show that challenges the definition of the role "parent" and shows that the old adage "It takes a village to raise a child" is still prevalent today. The show runs through October 31 at Primary Stages 59th Street theater. Go check it out!

One Million Women, One Voice

To help encourage 1 million women to participate in research about the causes and prevention of breast cancer, The Dr. Susan Love Research Foundation asked film students to create short Public Service Announcements about the cause. I was cast in "One Million Women, One Voice" as Sharon (director Felix Thompson). Our PSA made it to the final four and Glamour magazine loved the idea so much that they aired the four finalists PSA's on Glamour.com. This was a really fun shoot for a great cause. We also shot on the Red Camera which I was so excited to work with! Check out our PSA below.

PS22 Chorus "JUST DANCE" by Lady Gaga

I love watching the PS22 Chorus. Every time I see them perform, it melts my heart. We need more teachers to keep our youth smiling and inspired.
