We moved all these folks to “Special Projects.” So they’re real busy doing something else. You may not see them for awhile. A long while.
Karie Ann Duggan
KarieAnn was introduced to acting shortly after the invention of the wheel, when a teacher handed her an Erma Bombeck monologue and told her to memorize it, as she would be representing the school at a speech competition on Saturday. At Catholic school, you do what you’re told, don’t ask questions and accept your fate. She walked away, that Saturday, with a blue ribbon and a new love. The years brought about a series of plays, endless entertainment with a video camera and creative friends, a music video and some radio and T.V. commercials. The moral of the story here? Appreciate your teachers, sometimes they see more in you than you do.

He does that by playing Ken, the Efficiency Expert. When he’s not busy lighting up the set with his magnetic personality, he spends his days living the good life on his boat. We’d tell you more, but we don’t want to intrude on Robert’s luddite lifestyle out of the internets spotlight.
Sofia Mitchell
Sofia shelved two magna cum laude degrees to join the rat race of entertaining others. Why oh why would anyone do such a thing? Call it stupidity..or passion… Courage or ignorance. Perhaps it’s a mixture of all those things but honestly, it gets down to one thing:
*pause*
…well when she figures it out she’ll let us know. Latin by blood and true American at heart, this cultural mutt will tell you macanudos, stiff drinks, salsa dancing and classic movies are the loves of her life. Visit her page at www.SofiaMitchell.com for updates and links to other projects she’s working on.
Kandice Shaw
Kandice Shaw is a St. Louis native who has many aspirations and goals; however, film acting has always been on the top of the list. All throughout her high school and college years she flexed her creative muscle by participating in theater/drama classes, on-camera/auditioning techniques, voice, etc. She was signed to a talent agency at age 17; however, decided to focus on her education first and set out to receive a degree in Communication Arts. Afterwards, her passion for film acting was rekindled when she was by chance cast as an extra in the Jason Reitman film “Up in the Air”. This led to other appearances in independent films, such as “Game of the Year” by 88 mm productions and as the lead female in a local thriller. Being interested in all things creative she took some classes taught by Bill Chott (The Ringer, Rum Diaries) at the Improv-Trick and is now making her mark using her “Top of the Line” sales techniques as the recurring character, “Chastity” on BlackBookBerry.
