Myrna Velasco(II)
- Actress
Myrna Velasco is a proud Mexican American actress. Though Myrna was born and raised in the Los Angeles area, she would
have never really known that growing up. She spent must of her
childhood on her family ranch in Acton, California. In her early teens her family moved
to the quiet suburbs of Santa Clarita, where out of boredom Myrna
gravitated to rock music and the stage. She dabbled in dance for many
years, but never really finding the exact creative expression she was
looking for; she found herself reading plays out loud in her room.
Though it was very clear that acting was her first love, she had many
doubts in her ability to "make it" in the field, and opted to go to
college for a degree in writing. By her final year, when asked what she
wanted her thesis to be the only response she could give was, "Acting."
Myrna forsake the college degree to fully dedicate herself to pursuing
a career in the booming film industry that was in her very own
backyard. From the get go, she's had many success commercially: being
featured next to Will.i.am in a Coca-Cola campaign, several Market campaigns ranging from
McDonalds to Chevy. Theatrically, Myrna has had the privilege to work on versatile roles in both film and television. She's been everything
from a gun toting thug to a blushing bride, a nerdy burger girl to a
bratty high school drama queen. She looks forward to the next role that
will challenge her with excitement and the understanding of how lucky
she already is.
