RéSUMé

SAG/AFTRA & AEA

Height: 5"4'   |   Eye Color: Brown   |   Hair Color: Brown

Extensively trained in the Meisner technique at NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts, Jenna Lunarno is an extremely versatile, award-winning union actress.

When she was cast in Showtime’s “Brotherhood” Lunarno's character, Jordana, was only supposed to appear in one episode, but after working with her that writer/creator Blake Masters and director Henry Bromell were so impressed that they brought her character back.  Equally at ease with both comedy and drama, her range spans from romping character-based comedy to plumbing the depths of evocative emotional truth.

Jenna has an MFA in Screen Drama Direction from Goldsmiths College, part of the University of London in the UK.  She has worked on film and video projects in numerous capacities.  Lunarno has also written and directed for the theatre.  This has given her quite a bit of insight into what is needed and desired in an actor, making her a talent with whom everyone, on set or stage, enjoys working.
