Penny Gibbs


Penny Gibbs is an actress in the Detroit area. She just completed a


wonderful supporting role in the feature film Cedar Rapids last in


which her character was directly involved with Ed Helms, Mike O'Malley,


Anne Heche, John C Reilly among others for the core of the movie. She


can also be seen in a Ziebart commercial, a Harley Home Improvement commercial, a Trident layers commercial and a Baker College commercial where she had the lead in all.


She is usually cast as the loving mother/wife/friend types but also


really enjoys playing over the top roles with a bit of an edge.


Her acting teacher describes her as an "emotional actress with a


sensitivity and depth of emotion" and she usually finds that directors


want to make her cry!


Her role in a short called Oily Pen Stuff for the Sundance Film


Festival was hailed by the director who told us "Sharon, the footage


turned out awesome. I LOVE the lady you got, and her "Come back here


you little punk" is so far the best part of the entire short." The


director in her feature film said about her suicide performance in


Politics of Street Crime "Penny was heartbreaking as the tragic mother


of Monique. With blood splattered everywhere and tears in her eyes,


Penny performed a classic suicide scene worthy of Meryl Streep." Her


latest performance as Emma Fisherman had the director and crew in tears


as she wept trying to aid a dying friend to the afterlife.


Penny would describe herself somewhere between Susan Sarandon (whose


work she admires greatly), Sally Field and Ellen Barkin, but she is


younger than these talented ladies. In addition, she is also


comfortable playing slightly neurotic, funny roles such as Shelly Long


and Meg Ryan.


Her years of training at the Actors Workshop has taught her much. She


was pushed well beyond her comfort zone everyday and it helped her to


grow as a person and as an actress as well as teach her the art of


improve.


She is also proud that she landed an interview with Lord of the Rings


actor, Billy Boyd while on location in Sault Ste. Marie Canada while


they were filming Ecstasy. She had a part as an extra and he graciously


permitted her an interview for a web site she runs.
