‏Katalena Mermelstein‏

A Queens native, Jessica grew from a scrappy, awkward kid into a scrappy awkward woman who is amazing at becoming other people in the blink of an eye. An accomplished character actress, Jessica has been called a human cartoon and a chameleon. She can be literally unrecognizable from one character to the next.

While her acting career is actually quite young, Jessica has accomplished much, most notably studying in a Master's class under the personal tutelage of Kathleen Turner, a fellow deep-voiced powerful actress, and an extensive study of commercial acting under the tutelage of Batt Johnson. She has also studied martial arts under the carefully trained eye of Master Damon Honeycutt. Seventeen years of softball has made Jessica a focused team player, ready to make any production better. Her love of science fiction, fantasy and comics will always draw Jessica towards the more esoteric and adventurous roles, but her quirky accident-prone nature and dry sarcasm makes her the perfect comedienne. Mix in fearless martial arts training, and you've got a complete package.
