Natalie Pappas

Natalie Pappas is so thankful that Audrey Hepburn inspired her as a little girl with her performance in My Fair Lady. Dressing up in her mother's clothes, makeup, and high heels, singing and playing the piano for her family and stuffed animals became a frequent occurrence. Throughout her childhood and teenage years, Natalie was engrossed in the Arts, taking dance lessons in ballet, pointe, tap, and modern from the time she was three. Music became a strong passion as well, with singing and acting roles in both regional and high school plays. Winning the National Choir Director's Association Award in 2000, as well as Regional and All State Choir Accolades, Natalie received a music scholarship to Syracuse University. She graduated with a degree in Music Performance in 2003. Moving to Los Angeles after graduation, Natalie was scouted by an agency in Venice Beach. She booked her first print job as a cover model for Gene Simmons' new solo album, shot by the infamous photographer David La Chapelle. Natalie's cover was featured on top of Virgin Record Stores in New York City, as well as in Gene Simmons' Biography for A&E, and now most recently in David La Chapelle's coffee table book, "Heaven to Hell". She began booking roles in student films to build her credentials and started studying with Jeffrey Marcus, who she credits for developing her love of acting. She starred in Bored One Summer Productions feature, "The Lemonade Stand", a suspense thriller where she plays an angel. The Lemonade Stand also provided her with the opportunity to become involved behind the camera and learn more about production. As Production Coordinator for the film, Natalie was interviewed by Indie Slate magazine. She wore many hats assisting in set design, location scouting, shooting schedules, wardrobe, and even served as an acting coach for the younger children on set. Over the past two years, Natalie has been studying at Beverly Hills Playhouse under the guidance of Gary Grossman and Rob Brownstein. The school has changed her life and forged her acting ability to new levels. Most recently, Natalie can be seen in an episode of the web series, Hey Jo!, a monthly dating webisode on the Internet. Other film credits include the lead in the short film, As Night Falls, directed by Yuval Shrem, a lead role in the short film "Shraver's Lake", a supporting role in "Chihuahua: The Movie", as well as a supporting role in in the feature film Broken Dreams directed by David Crabtree. She is currently preparing for the stage reading at the Matrix Theatre, of Jon Polansky's hilarious new office comedy "All Fired Up" at the Matrix Theatre, together with notable actors Parvesh Cheena (NBC's hit series Outsourced), Jonathan Bennett (Mean Girls), Katie Lowes (Super 8), Brooke Nevin (Breakout Kings), among others.
