Elissa Dowling
- Actress
- Producer
- Art Department
The desire to perform came early for Elissa Dowling, by age 8 she was
dancing in the NYC Ballet Company's "The Nutcracker". At age 11 she was
invited to tour with an improv troop where she gained valuable
experience in the art of ad lib. By 13 she had already starred in stage
productions including "Little Shop of Horrors" and had her television
debut as the notorious lips singing the opening theme song from "Rocky
Horror Picture Show". The transition from stage to screen has worked
well for Elissa whose expansive acting range has already landed her
unique and diverse movie roles such as a transvestite bartender, an
attorney, a serial killer, even a gothic dominatrix from New York. Her
skills as a character actress have afforded her film performances so
intense that she is almost completely unrecognizable. Several of the
films she has starred in have been lined up with Lions Gate
distribution and she has also achieved a recognized body of work within
the independent movie circuit.
