Lora is a multi-lingual actress who is known for playing comedic roles such as the no nonsense goth stage manager Meredith in the Emmy Award winning “Hacks” who keeps (or at least tries) to keep Las Vegas star comedian Deborah Vance (Jean Smart) on track, or the exhausted workout mother in “Good Girls” opposite Christina Hendricks. She is no stranger to drama, known for role of Sepedeh in “The Vigilante” on Amazon Prime, based on actual events and playing empathetic doctor or nurse in numerous films and TV.
This West Virginia native credits her foray into acting with her first role as a tree at the age of 6. She went on to do summer stock, college, community, and professional theatre. Settling into Washington DC, she booked her first on-camera role on a national commercial for AOL before booking numerous on-camera roles. Since then, film, TV, commercial, industrial video, and voiceover roles soon followed.
She was a film critic and television co-host for the local DC cable TV entertainment show “Eclipse Magazine,” and she continued to work in theatre, performing with Woolly Mammoth Theatre/Young Playwright’s Theatre, Education and Entertainment Foundation in DC, Asian Stories In America Theatre and QBD Ink Theatre, along with other theaters in the Midwest, including Gallery Players in Columbus, Ohio.
Lora later moved to Los Angeles where she was selected as a best performer for the online web site StarCast Auditions which seeks up and coming talent in Hollywood. She graduated from the Meisner training program at the Ruskin Theatre School where she performed and directed as a company member. She also reunited with Eclipse Magazine as their LA correspondent where she interviewed producers, show runners, directors, and celebrities for the online version of Eclipse Magazine.
Aside from acting, she crossed over into producing. Using her experience as a film critic and filmmaking classes at the New York Film Academy in LA, she made her producer debut on the comedic short film “Game Of Scones”.
When she is not acting or writing about entertainment for Eclipse Magazine, she is saving lives as a doctor.
