Biography
Born in Melbourne, Australia to British non-acting parents, I moved to USA in 2001 with my older brother, Andrew (also an actor). I was first noticed by one of the high school teachers attending a performance of The Lion King when I was Nala, (aka the girl with the voice) in elementary school. she was looking for a girl to play the 10 year old lead in her original play and I was 9 and found I could hold my own with my 17 & 18 year old co-stars in the High School play. They still keep in touch with me even now they are away at college.
I continued for two more years with roles written for me and then I was hooked on acting and getting great training from drama coach Georgine Hall( - Broadway, Law & Order, Being There, Mrs. Packard-McCarter Theatre Princeton) and went to join my big brother at McCarter First Stage Theatre Group. As my brother tells it he had to wait for me to learn to speak and walk and then there was no stopping us re-enacting TV shows, movies, sitcoms and generally improvising our own shows. After playing the role of the Evil Queen Bavmorda (Like my brother..we both love to play "Evil" - so much fun) in the stage version of "Willow" will continue this season in Musical theatre training in a
Broadway musical at McCarter's summer festival.(Schoolhouse rock) I hope to get more experience in stage combat. I shall continue auditioning for upcoming plays in local community theatre and my new school's drama club where I just finished the role of the Fairy Godmother in Rogers & Hammerstein's Cinderella. I am going to be involved with Justice Productions Webisode "Two Story Lane series in the next few months.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!! i assumed it wasnt andrew but still laughed insanely hard when i was reading that!! im good; just finished filming the last of the projects on my list. its like the final 2 months of school so been really busy studying for exams and stuff, so no recent auditions [:( ]. my twin got her cow; i named it paisley [like brad paisley] we've been working on halter breaking her and stuff, which is an event in itself! <3 holli
happy bday!!! did you have an amazing party of anything? awesome bout the webshow, whats it about? havent heard from andrew lately, tell him good job for me!! <3 holli
yeah, andrew told me bout it. good luck with your plays! ive only been to nyc once and it was with my dad for buisness [so i barely left the holet room]. ugh, i know, homework is killing me!! <3 holli
I see what you mean about your spelling. I don't have that sort of dyslexia I have the hearing sort and my brain doesn't process all that I hear or I can;t remember it. Not affecting learning lines apparently Verity
Henry winkler is my idol he is soo great at what he does and he wirtes about it ! me it is kind of the spelling i counldn't spell if my life depended on it and the reading kills me. it like all the wordss on the page are togeather. actualy when we read out lound in class my teachers laern not to have me read. i love being able to have my own easier ways of doing things.
hey my name is sydney i was talking to your brother and he said that you guys are dyslexic me too i love acting but it is hard i would lve to hear your perspective
yeah, it bugs me to death too! i do wayyy better with monoluages too. the auditions where i've ahd to colld read have obviously not turned out very good. never got those call backs..... <3holli
