The Working Actor

WATCH FIONA TALK ABOUT HER AUDITION FOR LADY GAGA:

Age: “Younger than Glenn Close, older than Dakota Fanning.”

Fiona is originally from Hawaii, but has lived in LA for 14 years. She has been a Hair Extension Specialist for 8 years.

MOVED TO LA: “Because I wanted to be famous.”

BEST MOMENT IN LA: “I was working all these random part-time jobs but wouldn’t commit to anything because I’m an artist. I’m an actor. Finally, I realized I was tired of being a struggling artist and decided to find a way to get money while I worked on my craft. I’m getting more opportunities to do my art now, and it feels much better. I used to have this idea that if I was struggling I would be a better artist. That was screwed up. It’s way more fun now.”

WORST MOMENT IN LA: “I used to teach acting classes to children. I was really hung over one day and almost vomited on a child.”

YOU MAY HAVE SEEN HER IN: An original play, I’m The Man Inside Your Wife’s Vagina. A student film Run Over My Heart.

UPCOMING: Point Break Live

DREAM ROLE: “Nicole Kidman in Moulin Rouge!”

WHAT MADE YOU WANT TO BE AN ACTOR: “I don’t think I had a choice. I always had a burning desire to be an actor.”

I WOULD QUIT THIS JOB IF: “I got paid more as an actor.”
