Sam introduces you to Lisa Picotte, his friend Actress, Acting Coach and Mom to Vlog Person favorite, Gracie!
LISA PICOTTE began acting at the age of eight as a member of the nationally-acclaimed Rainbow Company Children's Theatre Ensemble in Las Vegas, NV. She was required to work on every show in the five-show season in some capacity, either onstage or behind the scenes. While she was a member, Rainbow Company was awarded the title Best Children's Theatre in the United States two years in a row. By the time she left the company, Lisa was a veteran of over 40 productions, including drama, comedy and musical theatre. Lisa went on to study at Los Angeles City College's Theatre Academy and began working professionally at the age of 18.
Lisa's film and television credits include regular and recurring roles on such series as His and Hers, Married with Children, Great Scott!, Days of Our Lives, General Hospital, and Dangerous Women, as well as guest roles on such series as The Closer, ER, The X-Files, The Fighting Fitzgeralds, Titus, Step by Step, Wings and Howe High. Film credits include roles in the soon-to-be-released Jekyll, The Earth vs. The Spider, Enchanted, Strange Days and The Homestead.
You may have seen her running down a grocery store aisle, scooping up packages of Quilted Northern Bathroom Tissue or serving up bowls of Dreyers Grand Ice Cream, as she has done dozens of national television commercials, including such other products as Western Union, Pizza Hut, Enterprise Rent-a-Car, Nutri-system, and Zings, among others.
One of Lisa's favorite projects was creating and hosting the cult-favorite Internet series entitled Oh, For God's Sake, I Don't Get It!, episodes of which can still be seen at www.onlinevoice.com.
Lisa is the recipient of several critics' awards and nominations for her extensive work in Los Angeles legit and musical theatre, including such productions as Merrily We Roll Along, both at West Coast Ensemble and Reprise! (LA Weekly Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress), Company (Garland and Dramalogue Awards), A Quarrel of Sparrows (LA Weekly Award nominee), Music From Down the Hill (Dramalogue Award), and Quilters (Dramalogue Award), among many others. In addition to West Coast Ensemble, Lisa is also a member of the Musical Theatre Guild, having appeared in many of their productions, including I Can Get It For You Wholesale, Parade, Allegro, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn and Louisiana Purchase.
Lisa received a scholarship and studied Shakespeare at London's Royal National Theatre, and is currently writing a screenplay based on her recently-published short story Casino Eyes.
She currently lives in Los Angeles, and in her free time, like her actor-husband David Kaufman, is obsessed with games -- hearts, mah jong, Yahtzee, Michigan Rummy -- whatever -- it doesn't matter, as long as she wins! Her proudest achievement is being mother to daughter Gracie and son Henry Oliver.

I knew Lisa in High School too. In fact, we went to prom together. But that was in La Palma CA. Good to see she's doing so well. By the way, wasn't she also in an episode of Mad About You where she played the bride at a wedding that Paul and Jamie crashed? I've never been able to find a reference about it on IMDB or anyplace else. I just remember seeing the episode and telling my wife, "Hey, I went to the prom with her!" Very funny.

He pronounced her last name wrong, it's said (pee-caught), not pih-cot or pi-cot-tee. No one ever seems to get it right.... XO

Well Lisa may not remember this or admit that she is in a cult film called "Blood Diner". Yep just one of the many films one does when your trying to climb that success ladder of fame :0). Lisa impressed everyone at our campus because she did all the things that an actor should do. She had a headshot, manager and was even a singing telegram. The rest of us said we were actors studying to be actors but most of us didn't have a clue. Lisa taught me a lot and she is great fun.

She's so much like Grace - even the gruff voice she uses when she's telling a joke. Very entertaining to watch as always Sam. x
