Biography

Singer/ swimsuit model turned tv personality, turned actress, Mercedes jokes about her big break out role as Jermey Piven's excitement passerby in Entourage, when he lands his client's first big gig, he picks her up, kisses her, pats her on the butt, sending her on her way as she turns around reacting to it, based all on improv, causing the director and the crew lose their minds to laughter. Although they decided to use the other character's (Ari) reaction to the big news rather than her and Jeremy Piven's, she made a long lasting impression on the cast and crew, going on to work in several scenes with the entire cast. Her in character reactions is what separates her from the rest of the pack! She's known for her curly locks, long dreads and her big personality qualifies her as the perfect person to ask the craziest questions as a television host (which she does as much as possible between movie sets). She is often hired for dramatic roles because of her ability to take things dark and deep, crying on cue and holding back emotion are her specialties along her very distinctive laughs (she has one for every occasion)!
