(Josette
Eales)
Former Durban actress Josette Eales, who
recently appeared in the television series The
Wild is now living and working in Los Angeles. Remembered for numerous excellent
performances on the Durban theatre circuit – often appearing with close friend
Janna Ramos-Violante, she recently landed a role in Love That Girl, a show produced by Martin Lawrence and shot at his
studios in LA.
“I played a guest role as a cousin of one
of the Series Regular characters,” explains Josette, who shot the scene a few
weeks ago. “It was wonderful to be working and on set again especially
considering that I've only been here since January. Most people were incredibly
impressed that I'd landed a role so soon into my stay here.”
The episode was directed by Bentley Evans
who directs all Martin Lawrence's shows and was also responsible for directing
the Jamie Fox show years ago.
“I was cast by Leah Daniels who recently
cast The Butler with Oprah Winfrey
and many other big names, as well as Paper
Boy and Precious. She was
incredibly impressed with me and I was awarded the role on the same day I auditioned
and no-one else was considered for the role. I was cast after only one round of
auditions. I'm over the moon to have landed a small but nevertheless valuable
role. I'm feeling incredibly blessed and like I'm exactly where I'm meant to
be.”
