Heather Kenzie

"She sparkles...managing to emit charm even when forced to goof off (and) sing along to yet another Phil Collins song"

Heather Kenzie is an actress with the rare combination of a lovely, open spirit and Hollywood-caliber beauty.

Heather earned her MFA at Rutgers in mid-2004, winning the Kreidlemen/Mason Gross Best Actor Award under renowned acting instructor William Esper.

Since then, Heather has had a recurring role on All My Children (ABC), and has also performed on Guiding Light (CBS) and As the World Turns (CBS). In addition, Heather was a sexy, funny standout as a cast member of the prime time TV series The P.A. (Fuse Network).

Heather has also acted in several short films, and in regional stage productions (including a play for the Crossroads Theatre, which won the 1999 Tony Award for Outstanding Regional Theatre in America).

However, the place where I've personally become most familiar with Heather's immense talent is my screenwriter's workshop (NYScreenwriters.org), which regularly conducts cold readings of feature screenplays. On each of her visits, Heather has been nothing less than brilliant in assessing characters in seconds, tackling them with fierce energy and subtle grace, and bringing them to full, vibrant life. After making our jaws drop with her performances, Heather has become a workshop "secret weapon" who we call upon when visited by celebrity actors we wish to impress.

Considering her many gifts, Heather merits becoming a celebrity herself. If you're seeking an actress who's gorgeous, a shockingly quick study, and a dynamic and superb performer, please give Heather Kenzie a close look. Heather's resume appears below; her email address is heatherkenzie@gmail.com.
