At age 15, Amy Kelly
began to study professionally with The Fantasy Theatre Company under the
supervision of Buck Busfield and his brother, Timothy Busfield, of "Thirty-Something"
fame. Under the brothers' consultation, she attended the prestigious California
Institute of the Arts Theatre School, where she quickly accelerated in
her craft light-years beyond her fellow peers. In 1998, at age 22, she
made her feature film debut as Terra, in PEP SQUAD. Her comedic performance
as the blundering villainous has been critically acclaimed worldwide.
Critic Jan Biles writes, "Equally as compelling is Amy Kelly as the
polyester-and-bouffant Terra. Kelly, a natural on-screen talent, can swing
from slapstick to drama in a flash. Think Lucille Ball and Bette Midler
to get an inkling of the actress' style." During the last two years,
Amy Kelly has appeared in several independent and experimental films.
Amy resides in San Francisco, where she participates regularly on stage
as part of the Brownbag Theatre Company in Association with San Francisco
State University. Amy Kelly is cast opposite Dennis Hopper, Deborah Harry,
Karen Black and Sally Kirkland in FIRECRACKER.asdfasdf
