MICHELLE C. BONILLA
Michelle C. Bonilla is a familiar face to TV viewers. The out Latina actress played Teresa Morales on Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman and Christine Harms on ER. If you weren´t an avid watcher of those shows, then you might recognize her from guest shots on Castle, The Bold and the Beautiful, Jane the Virgin, or the award-winning lesbian short that she wrote, Slip Away. And, if you have ever played video games, you´ve probably heard her vocal talents on projects such as Call of Duty, Dead Rising 3, and Star Wars: The Old Republic. In addition to acting, voice-overs, writing and producing, she also helps other thespians as a private acting coach. “It´s one thing to be on the set, already have the job, and just blissfully go about the work,” she tells GO, “however, for many actors, including myself, being able to ´book the room´ and feel great about what you do in an audition setting is a completely different beast! So being able to be of service to other actors by providing them a forum to work out the kinks, get past nerves and make strong choices makes me feel great! … Inspiring others, whether it´s through my own work or helping other actors find the inspiration in theirs, is why I chose to do what I do.” -GH
