In October 2022 I got to meet some splendid ostriches in preparation to play an illegal ostrich farm farmer for the premiere episode of Fox’s new comedy series Animal Control. What an incredible experience to meet and learn about these magnificent creatures. This is a behind the scenes photo (no makeup and not in wardrobe) taken on the rehearsal/meet and greet with ostriches day. Because “safety first”.
Series premieres today, February 16 2023.

shout out to hair make up artists
Fall of 2019 I got to work on two projects, back to back, with two very different looks. Shout out to the hair and makeup departments of each show who transformed me into Peasant Woman for The Magicians, episode “Garden Variety Homicide” (air date Feb 26 2020) and Stern Teacher for The Twilight Zone, episode “Among the Untrodden” (air date June 25, 2020)

The Arrangement
Summer of 2016 I got to work with director Carol Banker on the TV show "The Arrangement" for E! Network. My character was "Lena", woman of the theatre. We got to be actors doing a play, within a tv show. The last scene we shot entailed hanging out in a outdoor hot tub on a gorgeous summer night. Fun times. Season one, episodes 5 and 6 aired in April 2017.
