ADD QUOTES-
Anita La Selva: Before "Earth", I worked for several years as an actor in Toronto, doing stage, film, radio. I've done a lot of theater. My background is in theater, as an actor trained in England. Recently, you can see me on a lot of shows like, different series, like "TekWar", "Kung Fu", "Secret Service", "Top Cops", a number of the movies of the week and I am also a fully trained Flamenco dancer. And when I am not in the boots and the "head" I work for the company here in town as a diversion from "Earth". But most of my time is spent here on set as Zo'or.
