She&#8217;s been doing theater and acting since high school. She double majored in theater and English! She&#8217;s amazing.<\/p>\n<p>I first saw her act in some high school play. I couldn&#8217;t remember what it was but she played a kid who got hit by another kid. She acted very well and I was actually quite scared for her as she had to fall off a chair. I felt like getting up on stage and punching the kid who hit her but I new it was an act and she did it perfectly.<\/p>\n<p>Since she&#8217;s had a few minor things going on but I can&#8217;t help wonder what she could have done if she had the opportunities. A few key roles I would have loved to see my sister play, just to name a few, are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Lumen Pierce &#8211; Dexter (season 5) &#8211; Julia Styles sucked playing this role. She was too bossy, too pushy, too needy, and too like not playing the part well. It just felt like 10 Things I Hate About You (a movie which I loved) but it was the same acting. My sister could have done this sooooo much better.<\/li>\n<li>Jessica Hamby &#8211; True Blood (all seasons) &#8211; I felt like Deborah Ann Woll played this role well but I know my sister could have been better. Most actors on True Blood (except for a few) did not do southern accents. Even Anna Paquin only did a southern accent sporadically. The only two characters I can think of in that show that really did the southern accent like all the time were Arlene (Carrie Preston) and Jason (Ryan Kwanten; who is fucking Australian!). My sister could have totally done a southern accent.<\/li>\n<li>Kate &#8211; Drinking Buddies &#8211; I did not like Olivia Wilde in this role. It just didn&#8217;t ring true to me. It felt like she was overacting a lot of the time. My sister could have played this role. I could have seen it done better by her.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As many of you know I have a very talented sister, Stacy.
