| Melissa Anschutz Actor Saugatuck, MI Actress
I was a theatre major in college, but practical speeches and daunting numbers offered me a distraction from my passion. An easy excuse to veil my fears of perception and failure. For a number of years this is where I hid, performing only for the local audience of family and friends. ...Until my blessed moment of truth arrived, carrying far to many signs to be ignored. With my faith with me, and a family's push of support, I let go, realizing, it wasn't acceptance that I sought, but rather just the mere chance to perform. Since then I've found no matter how big or small a project, each character I've been given the pleasure of becoming has proven rich with personality. I've lived within films, television, theater, and various other performance genres. My experience includes 15 films, 4 television series, several print and or spokes model environments and too many theatre productions to count. I've worked with some of the most brilliant and talented writers, actors, producers, directors, and crew members, and at this moment, even within the smaller scale in the vast land of this business, I can confidently say, "I'm living my dream".
