Falling Water on IMDB

/0 Comments/in /by

I was fortunate to be cast in a recurring guest star role of Dr. Duria, the ever precise, slightly intimidating and direct scientist in the first season of the sci-fi drama Falling Water on USA Network .

Through my episodes on the show, I got to meet and work with many of the the awesome stars of the show, including Lizzie Brochere’ , David Ajala, Will Yun Lee , Kai Lennox, Zak Orth & Jodi Long. I also had the honor of being directed by Jack Bender and Ellen Kuras .

It was a humbling experience to work with such amazing professionals and to portray a character that transcended gender and ethnicity and was badass, down to her Chanel suit.

 

You can catch the first season of Falling Water on Amazon Prime and the second season is premering on USA Network this week!
