Hello, I'm Jamie Lewis. I spent my teenage years working in radio, it was the best job to have as a kid. I was able to meet the band members of some of my favorite Rock group;even hung on stage, feeling the energy that the crowd gave them. I did that for five years before giving up my night show to perform in local theatre. You know what I did for money?...
I sold life insurance door to door. Comical however, I made presidents club my first year; not easy to sell a non-tangible product but I wanted to act. Next step was New York City.
I went through great training at SFT, a film conservatory, on a scholarship and bar-tended the whole time for cash. I enjoy the adventures of life, I'm full of energy and stay active with exercise! I am currently working on an independent film where I play a villain; I'm training in Martial Arts for the role. I just closed a show called Naked Holidays where I played a femme fatle and opening an New Musical called, Teenage Chronicles which will go up in April. My new role I play a complacement, battered wife.
I have a Natural,Strong, Sensual energy.
