You’ve probably come here for The Room’s “Lisa.”
The Retired Actor
I starred in the cult film The Room with Tommy Wiseau in 2003. I hid for a long time, hoping the unwelcome attention would subside. But after 15+ years of midnight screenings all over the world and the release of The Disaster Artist, that doesn’t appear to be happening. Some of my other acting work includes Texas Cotton, Ghost Shark 2: Urban Jaws, ‘Til Morning, The Trouble with Barry, Development Hell and IRL. I’m retired from film, appearances and interviews, and I like it that way.
The Human
For my “real job” I own my own business here in San Antonio, Texas with my husband and we do graphic design, marketing and social media. In life, I swing from wanting to do all-the-things to NONE of the things. Sometimes I love to keep really busy and other times I retreat into my naturally introverted self. I’m passionate about helping others learn to feel OK in their own skin, find a sense of belonging, and cope with depression and anxiety. You can see some of that on my YouTube channel and in my blog posts here. I’m a runner (sometimes walker), ally, fan of things, Netflix binge watcher, artist, mother of cats, and a volunteer. I’m really good at joining random Facebook groups and liking things.
My Situation
I love Room fans. I love and appreciate the creativity, enthusiasm and support over the years. My goal for this website is to try and find the mythical “perfect balance” – to allow fans to enjoy being fans and also give them a space to learn more about the other 99.99% of my life. My biggest wish is that new fans can hold space in their hearts for a more authentic side of me. I could not be more different than the character I played so many years ago.
And for the love of all that is Holy, I hope that someday The Room will not be the first thing listed in my obituary.
