Juliet Lopez is an actor, screenwriter, and whitewater river guide who grew up in Santa Fe, New Mexico. After earning her BFA in Theatre Performance & Directing from Arizona State University she gave the stage and spotlight a bit of a break to pursue her other dream: becoming a whitewater guide in the Grand Canyon. After a handful of awesome river seasons, where she befriended people from all over the world, Juliet returned to her home state, where the film industry has taken an impressive hold. She cut her teeth on some amazing projects including "Thor”, “Breaking Bad”, "Blaze You Out" and the comedy web series, "Enter the Dojo”. Last summer she decided to “go pro” and make the big move to Los Angeles.
When it comes to acting, Juliet loves the process of getting inside her character to find what makes them tick and bringing those nuances to life. There are few things more exciting than the creation of a detailed history, and it’s no surprise that the personalities of her characters, both acted and written, are pulled and blended from the very real people she has had the privilege of meeting during her travels. While her parents may worry that this will lead to some severe schizophrenia one day, she would argue that at least she’ll be the most interesting schizophrenic in the room.
There’s always a bright side.
