Anna Lodej

Born in Poland, residing in Los Angeles, Anna Lodej appeared on European network television before moving to New York to study at the Lee Strasburg Institute. Her first English-speaking role was the multi-character female lead in Off-Broadway's "Room 314" with co-star/writer/director Michael Knowles. Her performance received "special notice" by Backstage.com "for her engaging playfulness with the role". Anna's first U.S. film appearances were uncredited, letting Jack Nicholson into his favorite club in Nancy Meyers' "Something's Gotta Give" and as a 'Stepford Wife' in Frank Oz's "The Stepford Wives". She was soon noticed by John D. Harkrider who cast her as the love interest 'Tessa' in "Mitchellville", featured at the 2005 Sundance Film Festival. Variety noted Anna's "very fine work" in their review. Anna's other characters have included 'Dana' in Chris Witherspoon's thriller "Rage", 'Ania' in the supernatural fantasy "Gosia's Witch", a guest-starring role as a casting agent in TVP1's hit series "The Londoners" and recently co-starring with Edward Asner in John Fingal O'Donnell's "A Man of the World", which was screened at the NYC Independent, Fort Lauderdale International and Pasadena Film Festivals. Most recently, she starred in the self-titled "Magda" for director Jarrah Gurrie. Anna continues to act steadily in films and in television and produces music videos. She just co-produced short film "Cowboy's Girl"
