This is going to take a lot of courage on my part to show my latest acting work to you. I play a Japanese immigrant (probably illegal) living in Canada. She's living with a big Punjabi Family and renting one of their rooms because it's cheap. She's hiding and doesn't want to be noticed by anyone. Thus, the no-makeup and drab-colored clothes among other things. Also, it's a comedy!
If you know me in person, you know I've never left my house without makeup. This part is kind of a stretch, but now that I've done it, I can understand it suits the part. Even when I was without a stitch of makeup, the director kept saying, "Too pretty, too pretty!" "But . . . it's my face???," I wanted to reply.
Anyway, please be forewarned because I look pretty frightening. I edited out my parts on the show, so it's very short. We already made 6 episodes so far and I'm hoping the show will get picked up to make more episodes. I'm not used to myself looking quite this way, but at least, for once, I can say that I didn't get the part because of my "looks"! I think I did my job--I do look like a goofball!
If you're so inclined, please take a look!
Warmest regards,
