If you know Wendy Carter's work, it is probably because you stumbled upon her as she was battling some mutated reptile on cable tv, but she began her performance career in VA. As a child she developed an ear for music and physical acuity as a synchronized swimmer, and she still continues to compete internationally, and win, as a masters' competitor. She transferred her talents from the water to musical theatre while still in high school, and the passion she developed for acting led her to continue her theatrical studies at VA Tech. When Stanislovsky and Chekov captured her heart during a production of The Seagull, she followed it to The Russian American Theatre Company in St. Petersburg Russia. When thoroughly humbled by the excellence and truth of acting she saw there, she returned to the states and earned her MFA at The DePaul Theatre School/ Goodman School of Drama in Chicago.
After earning her first film role playing Ben Afflecks girlfriend in Going All the Way, and working on the TV shows Cupid, and Early Edition, she was called to Los Angeles, where in various mediums, she has ranged from cops, to bimbos, to bi-polar murdering psychopaths. She has even returned to her roots as a synchronized swimmer in Jackass 2 and numerous commercial and music video projects. To date, her primary success has been in the sci-fi genre, where she has saved the world no fewer than four times in Maximum Velocity, Basilisk: The Serpent King, Copperhead, and 100 Million BC on Scy-Fy and Chiller Channels. She started to develop her producing and writing skills with The Wind Up Puppet Show and her own project Mermaid Rock.
The move from Hollywood was made to care for her terminally ill father. It was a time filled with learning how to laugh through just about anything, and is one of several topics she has been asked to speak on.
Wendy has been speaking in schools with Fellowship of Christian Athletes for two years, and has spoken for and emceed for Women Of Value in Every Nation for three years. She has narrated several audiobooks, one of which was a finalist for the Odyssey awards, and two of which were converted into short films.
Pictures, resume, reels and references are available… and really fun…
