So...you
want to know about Pamela, huh? Well...lets start at
the beginning. Pamela began her acting career pretty
much at birth. Her imagination always got her into
trouble, so...she had to come up with creative ways
to get out of trouble. This usually involved blaming
her older brothers for everything.
At the age of 18, Pamela started taking Martial Arts
with Champion Karate Centers under instructor John
Maynard. With years of training in dance and gymnastics,
Karate proved to be a fun and challenging outlet for her.
She achieved the rank of green belt before she left for
college to attend East Carolina University.
At ECU, Pamela studied Graphic and Image design where
she spent countless hours either glued to a computer
screen or locked up in the photography lab. Don't let
this fool you though, this is where she was most happy.
While in college, Pam met Bill McDonald, who became her
mentor
and Martial Arts sensei. She began assistant teaching and eventually achieved
the rank of
Black
Belt.
During
an art class, Pamela discovered her affection for Asian languages and art.
At, this point,
she decided
to take some Japanese language classes which landed her the AIEJ Foreign
Student
Exchange
Scholarship to attend Osaka University in Osaka, Japan. During her 6 month
stay, Pam
studied
Japanese language, reading, writing, art, and of course, Martial Arts.
After graduating
college, Pamela moved home to Wilmington, NC. Once home, her passion for
acting
surfaced
again, with a vengence. She started taking acting classes at The American
Studio of Acting
with instructor
Mick McGovern. While taking classes, she met Irene Slater, a dear friend
and mentor
as well.
Pamela worked with Irene on Darktales, The Series, an independent TV Pilot.
Ashley McDaid,
(actress
extraordinare) is the one to blame for Pam's acting bug. They went to classes,
auditions
and pretty
much everywhere together. After a few months Pamela got an agent, and shortly
after that...
her first
audition for Moxie Pictures. This audition landed her the lead Principle
in a commercial
for ESPN
by Director Todd Phillips, starring opposite sports caster Dick Vitale.
She has also had
several
auditions for the award winning casting agency in Wilmington, NC, Fincannon
& Associates.
Since
then, Pam has been involved in several independent features, such as Sins
of the Jedi,
and upcoming
release Into the Night. Well...thats about it for a short history. We hope
you have
enjoyed
our little insight into the mind of Pamela, hope it wasn't too boring and
that you will come again!
