1. Tell us about yourself, where are you from, and what is your background in acting?

I am originally from Michigan. Started acting at the age of 5 going theater. My mother was a theater director and drama teacher, so I naturally grew up around plays and performance.

2. Who has been your biggest influence as an actor?

I truly love the greats…Brando, Streep, DeNiro, Hopkins, and some of the newer classics like Ed Norton, Cate Blanchett, Phillip Seymour Hoffman, and a few others…there are many talents and gifted actors out there to be inspired by that it’s tough to name just a few.

3. Tell us about your role on “Saw VI”.

I play the role of Jane. Can’t say much other than she’s similar in some ways to the Amanda character that many are already familiar with.

4. How did you prepare for your role?

I drew from people who were in my past and that I had known before who dwelled in the same dark place Jane does.

5. Can you tell us a bit about the SYFY Channel’s movie “Mongolian Death Worm”?

It’s an exciting adventure filled creature film along the lines of Tremors, only done Sy Fy style. I play
a doctor in Mongolia working to save villagers from a mysterious plague.

6. Any new projects in the works?

I’m currently working on another Sy Fy film as well as writing new songs for my band Auradrone’s next album www.myspace.com/auradrone.
