Favourite Film Quotes:

"Roll with the punches tomorrow is another day!"

Jerry Maguire




Killing Zone Assassin


"
this proved that I could play more than just a sexy bimbo!"


b/w face 3
I began my career in the early 90’s where I managed to gain work in the modelling industry.  It’s always a good feeling to see your work published, and modelling can be thrilling and exciting in its own way, but for me personally I always had a great yearning to take on other challenges.  With this in mind I decided to embark on what was, and still is, a challenging yet rewarding career.  I have attended courses at RADA and trained at other theatre workshop type courses involving lots of improvisational skills, which has proved to be very useful.


I began, like most actors, gaining small roles in television, films, short films, corporate productions, student films and commercials.  I then landed a small, but rather significant role alongside Sean Bean in the gritty football film ‘When Saturday Comes’ as Sean's one night stand, yummy! The publicity I received for this took me by surprise and enabled me to appear in a sketch on Chris Evans TFI Friday Show.  A role as an Assassin in the British gangster thriller ‘The Killing Zone’ followed. This proved that I could play more than just a sexy bimbo, not that there is anything wrong with playing bimbos by the way!  I continued with Modelling and other small parts before I was offered the lead role of Rachel in the low budget interactive, sci fi, pilot ‘Advanced Warriors’ where I played a very aggressive, bitch from hell type character.  I was trained up for a number of  martial arts fight sequences which take place in various scenes.  The film also has appearances from Chase Masterson (Deep Space Nine) and Jeremy Bulloch (Star Wars).  It appears that the martial arts films have become very popular again since Bruce Lee first emerged in films such as ‘The Big Boss, Fist of Fury, Enter the Dragon’ etc.  I have recently passed phase 3 in JKD concepts (Nov 06) - Student of the year (Dec 06). Martial arts skills seems to be a unique asset in the up and coming films of today. 

      

Since my appearances at various sci-fi events / conventions around the country it made me really appreciate the size of the fan base that goes with the sci-fi world. I was very fortunate to be able to present an award at the SFX event to Kirsten Dunst, who wasn’t actually there! oh well.
I was also interviewed on the TV Show Loose Lips with another cast member from Advanced Warriors.

Appearances at such events may increase since I landed the role of Nurse Sandy Beach, in the sci fi comedy series ‘Starhyke’ starring Claudia Christian.  Hopefully, this will be lots of fun!
Finished filming on the feature film 'The Pale Man', where I play gangsters' girlfriend 'Sharon', this will be released for satellite TV in February (2006).
I have also been working on some short films, including lead character 'Christine' in 'Echo'.
I've just had a wonderful time playing the part of 'Thelma' in the stage production of 'Pack of Lies' which ran for four nights at kent's oldest 'Theatre Royal' in Margate,(Sep 06). Hopefully more work will follow with the 'East Kent Professional Players'.
