ERYN BROOKE

BIO

 Eryn Brooke was born in Waxahachie, Texas where she was, well, pretty much a tom boy.  She spent most of her young years jumping from tree to tree (maybe that was swinging) or taking a dare she probably shouldn't have taken.  She wanted to do anything and everything from dance to being the only girl to bring a wild snake to show and tell in first grade.  Needless to say, her parents were aware they had a handful.  When she was a young girl in blue jeans, of course, her dad sat her on his knee and told her, "you can do whatever you want as long as you don't hurt yourself."  After a few episodes he added, "or anyone else."   In the elementary school plays and dance recitals whether she was cast in the lead or not she always seemed to find her way to the front.

At about the age of fifteen, she realized being a girl wasn't so bad and possibly had its advantages.  At this point and after being a competitive gymnast for over twelve years, with plenty of medals, she decided that gymnastics could not rule her life and she wanted more-more of everything.  Her freshman year in high school she played every sport possible and tried just about everything. That year, her life took a major turn.  Her older brother, Drew, who was also her best friend as well as companion in acting and modeling, was killed in a car wreck. Her world was turned upside down.  The acting and modeling in which she had secretly been adventuring in with her brother came to a halt.  No more plays, no more classes, no more writing.  After spending a lot of time alone in her room with a guitar, a pen and paper, she realized the rest of the world was moving on with or without her.  So once again, the adventures began, with her brother Drew never far from her side in spirit.  Eryn did what she was supposed to, but she was always still a little different in that town, whether it was shocking people by expressing her opinions on things people don't normally talk about, or just looking for a little trouble- it was still a part of her that was growing.   The way her mom put it, she was supposed to be a flower child of the seventies.  She graduated high school sixth in her class, was Homecoming Queen, Cheerleader, Miss Waxahachie High School and expected to go far in college, but again something was missing in the life she left behind with her brother and was constantly eating away at her.  With all the quote "accomplishments" why was something still missing?  That was when the tables turned, she choose not to go and cheerlead or go off to a big university, but follow her secret passion of acting.

 School was always easy for her and acting was a never ending challenge that could take her anywhere whether in her mind or in reality.  Her imagination was not so far fetched in the world of acting.  She knew it was  where she belonged.  And all of her hobbies had a place there, whether it was gymnastics, martial arts, jumping (swinging) from trees; somehow it all could be used in this new exciting world.  In trying to figure out where to start she met Ken Farmer, a veteran actor with over thirty years in the business, that was, well, out rightly blunt with her about the business of acting, her skills and the need for passion and  he began to feed and guide that passion and lead her into the world she was destined.  He became her teacher, mentor and coach.  When he felt she was ready,  he convinced The Campbell Agency to sign her. She does industrials and commercials still, but she found her interest skewed  a bit in the direction of film- so the world of Independent Films took over!  On the side she continued school; school during the day, filming at night.

 She graduated from the University of North Texas, Magna Cum Laude, with specialties in Communication, Sociology, and, of course, Radio, Television and Film.  She works for the A.J. Foyt Racing Team as a spokesmodel, traveling all over, as well as doing print and commercials for a new malt liquor called Margarita Ice coming out soon.  She is currently working in pre-production on a couple of projects and in the middle of shooting a feature called Matchstick Game, working both as the lead and behind the scenes. She has now been in over 10 films, including Alan Chan's "12 Hot Women", "Lycanthrope" and "TP-1" (won first at the Hollywood Underground Film Festival) as lead or costar and continues to pursue her dreams and passions as an actress and well, every aspect of film making.  Currently, she is set to costar in a new TV pilot, "HOLLYWOOD, OKLAHOMA...?" presented by Handshake Productions, LLC.  And the saga continues.
