Yes dolls, sometimes I glam up! Of course, most of you may only recognize me in uniform; my jeans, tee shirt and sneakers are an excellent ensemble for the acting and stunt jobs I've done over the last ten years. Performing very physical roles in Law & Order, the SVU Law & Order, Third Watch, Shaft, Rescue Me, The Interpreter, Stuart Little II and many others show off some great fighting, cursing and falling skills (I do real stunts too!). Although I did a small role on "The L Word," landing the Daynisha role in "The D Word" gave me the biggest and most exciting role I've ever had! It is my dream to continue working with fantastic writers, directors and producers!
