Sonia Curtis Acerra

Sonia Curtis Acerra was introduced to Hollywood through her father, a famous Hollywood stuntman. She grew up visiting film and television sets regularly and after playing the lead role in her high school musical "Bye Bye Birdie" she was hooked on acting. Sonia was accepted to the USC BFA Program for acting but was unable to attend because she began working right after high school. While working on various TV shows she continuously trained with great teachers such as Bill Traylor at The Loft, Roy London, Cameron Thor and Sandra Seacat. She went on to book recurring roles on "Family Ties", "Days of Our Lives", and  "Roseanne" and her film credits include "The Monster Squad" and "Terminal Bliss." After many years of acting Sonia also began to coach actors privately and in groups and began writing and developing scripts for film and television. Last year Sonia produced and starred in a short film "Deception" directed by award- winning director Pamela Dresser. Currently she has several projects in various stages of development.
