Briah Ann KruegerHello Ladies & Gents!I am a very determined eighteen-year-old young lady who is ready to make a mark on camera. I have been involved in choir for eight years, and have been in productions through Theater Arts since the age of seven. Being on stage, or being given a character to portray is what I do best. Some people have Math or Science, some people can rock a Football field or Basketball court, but as for me; I have always felt my confidence soaring on the stage or on camera. If I or my friends and family had to describe me in a single phrase, I believe they would say I am an old soul in a young body. I am in LOVE with everything from Frank Sinatra to The Beatles. I am also a writer of poetry and have had my poems published in four different books.I am 5’3, and weigh about 115 lbs. I have brown hair and brown eyes, and I have a few freckles. I do not wear makeup except for foundation, I do not like to wear other products.I am a small town Wisconsin gal, but my heart-filled dreams are too big for this little place. I look forward to hearing back from you, and I thank you so much for your time and consideration. 0 Reply July 11, 2014

Jessica NowackiName: Jessica Nowacki DOB: 7/30/85 Height: 5`8 Hair: Dark Blonde Eye: BlueI am a small town girl from the small state of Delaware. Being able to “make it big” is virtually impossible here so being able to complete bios such as this online helps get my name out there. Acting has always been a passion of mine that tends to take the back burner because of the lack of stardom and opportunities lacking in the wonderous first state learning lines, practicing in front of the entire family, teaching myself to cry on cue and memorizing movie lines and behaviors are my childhood memories. I have a unique sense of humor that is very dry and can offend people easily, making me the perfect character for any role. I am not afraid of a challenge and portray any character, young or old, prissy or county, and semi-nice to very mean. I have the shocking and screaing scream most actresses would die for and can fake a scene like no other. Help this Sussex County girl make a name for herself beside any of the inappropriate names I earned in highschool.Sincerely, Jessica Nowacki 0 Reply February 1, 2014
