The Australian actress Lilly Dennis said that when she was
asked what advice she would give to aspiring performers. Well said, Lilly! And
she definitely knows from experience what she’s talking about. Once she decided
to pursue acting as a career she never stopped training, auditioning and acting
on the stage and in front of the camera. She never looked back, either, she
just kept pushing toward her goal, which was to act full time and to make it a
lifetime profession.
She’s been in innumerable plays as a member of The American Academy Theater Company
in LA, including And Miss Reardon Drinks
a Little, directed by Sandy Martin of Speed,
Napoleon Dynamite and Marley and Me
fame), Season Greeting, directed
by Ian Ogilvy, and her own original one-person show, Chocoholic, which will begin again in June of 2016. Some of her
film and TV work include, Foreign Love
(for 2016 release), Replacement, the
2016 TV series, The Nice Girls and
the feature film currently in production, The
Charlie Cure. Lilly’s comic debut in a feature film is in a mockumentary
called Flirting and Hurting, in which
she plays an Aussie woman who’s obsessed with speed dating. Lilly just
completed another film, We Need To Talk,
which will premiere in the UK in January 2016, and the
U.S. in August of 2016
Lilly probably loves to make people laugh more than anything
else on Earth. When asked who she would most like to work with she said that
she would have died to work with Lucille ball but it’s a bit late apparently,
so she chose the living and breathing and exquisitely fine actress Judy Dench.
And who could argue with that? Perhaps she’ll get her wish and work with that
fabulous actress, but until then, Lilly plans to make no plans because if
you’re an actor, she says, the minute you make concrete plans, something else
always comes into play and changes everything. However, she actually does plan
to stay in the U.S. and work in film and TV. She also intends to expand her
comedic career as well. (She is a very funny lady). But most of all, Lilly
plans to use the platform she has been given to bring awareness to people and
to make them laugh.
