Jennifer Lyons(I)

Jennifer Lyons was born in Pasadena, California to a family of entertainers. Her mother is an inspiring and creative school principal who has brought arts programs to under-served communities, her father was a flamenco guitarist, and her grandparents were a singing and dancing Vaudeville team. Having been inspired by her legendary uncle, Actor James Best, known for his beloved character Rosco P. Coltrane, she went on to study film acting at his school and had the privilege of being taught by musical theater genius Dorothy Best, her Aunt. Her love for performing was apparent from a very young age, when she would dance for her family while her dad played guitar. Jennifer is a classically trained ballet dancer and studied various forms of dance for 17 years. She has performed in the U.S., Europe, and China. Her love for the stage broadened into musical theatre in high school and college. Not too soon after, she landed a recurring role on an NBC show as a Ballet dancer. Her career has continued to broaden into various roles in popular TV shows and feature films. She is best known for her comedic timing but still loves gritty drama when it comes her way.
