Lorielle New is an actress with more than 60 movie, TV, and short film credits credits to her name. Lorielle began her career working as Michelle Pfeiffer's photo-double and stand-in on three films. Lorielle's focus and commitment impressed director, Jon Avnet, who decided to create her very first speaking role in his film, " Up Close and Personal". Soon afterwards, through sheer determination, Lorielle began booking her own acting jobs, starting with a provocative guest-star role on David E. Kelley's Emmy winning series, "The Practice", in which she played a porn star on trial for murder.
Over the years, she has become know for the many memorably quirky, and often diabolical, characters in her vast resume of independent films- she's played everything from a werewolf, to a hypnotist, to porn-star, to a nerdy secretary.
As well as Michelle Pfeiffer, Robert Redford, David E. Kelley, and Jon Avnet, Lorielle has also been lucky enough to work with the likes of Rob Zombie, Stephen Jarchow, Mel Damski, Paul Colichman, Jeff Fahey, Henry Jaglom, Sam Irvin, Rolfe Kanefsky, and David De Coteau to just name a few. She is especially proud of her starring role in the low-budget independent film, " Edgar Allen Poe's The Pit and the Pendulum", which was directed by David De Coteau for Regent Entertainment/ Here! Network. Her role as the diabolical JB Divay has been described as a " delicious, entertaining, campy romp "
In addition to her acting, Lorielle is involved with many philanthropic organizations and is a committed supporter of Equality, LGBT, positivity for all peoples, and the ethical treatment of animals and the environment. She is also a dedicated artist working in the mediums of acrylic paints and reduction printing, and has sold several pieces to private collectors. She is in the process of mounting an exhibition of her artwork.
Currently (2014), Lorielle is developing several projects of her own, as well as expanding the scope of her popular daily Internet talk show which has been running for over 5 years, and has had over 2 million viewers during that time.
