I had the pleasure to interview Julia Parker. Julia has had a successful acting career that has included roles in the Emmy Award winning television series “The People v O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story”, “The Flight that Fought Back”, “CSI:CYBER”, “90210”, “After Lately”, Matthew Perry’s sitcom “Go On”, “Episodes”, “Grace of God”, amongst others. Her film work is extensive and recently includes “Another Time”, “The League of Legend Keepers: Shadows”, “Sand Angels” as well as the award winning “My Name is Lamar”. With her love of acting, Julia has decided to foray into producing.
