ON-CAMERA AND VOICEOVER ACTOR

ABOUT RUTH

Thanks for visiting! I’m a former attorney who got to play one on Disney+ in Marvel Studios’ She-Hulk: Attorney at Law. And you can see me Jordan Peele’s reboot of Scare Tactics, episode 8.

I’ve enjoyed working on dozens of films, commercials, industrials and more. Upcoming projects include a series of commercials, and upcoming releases include a couple of features. Some projects are available to view online. And I’ve done thousands of voiceovers in a variety of genres. I knew I wanted to be an actor after getting a laugh from my first lines in a Kindergarten Christmas pageant, and love each opportunity to entertain audiences.

Accolades include best actress nominations (Midwest Film Festival’s Best of the Midwest Awards, Women’s Comedy Film Festival Chicago and Reel Comedy Fest) for Open House, which won Best Dark Comedy at Women’s Comedy Film Festival Chicago, and a best actress honorable mention from the Crown Point International Film Festival for Me, Myself & I, a short I wrote, directed, play three roles in and filmed by myself during the pandemic.

I’ve improvised at venues including ComedySportz and iO and have extensive corporate role playing experience. My improvisational speed talking has been featured on America’s Funniest People and assorted productions including a 24-hour event streamed on Facebook. Other talking: storytelling (15+ shows) and workshop presenter (including “Essential Sales Skills for Actors” and “Improv for Authors.”).

I write, too. I sold my first feature film screenplay and am the award-winning author of two humorous novels (including My Life as a Star – Top Comedy, Launch Pad Prose Competition 2020), four historical romances and dozens of articles. My Wars of the Roses Brides trilogy reached #1 Historical Romance on Amazon in the US, Canada and Australia. My freelance editing skills enhance novels, copy and scripts.
