Angela Soldier

The quiet hills of Northeastern Oklahoma may seem an unlikely place to find inspiration for a life in front of the camera. However, for Angela Soldier, the signs were everywhere. With roots in the Cherokee Tribe, much of her family was involved in the "Trail of Tears" drama, a live production that attracted visitors from around the country. Angela appreciated that through acting, her family was able to introduce the audience to a different time and place, creating emotional and unforgettable teaching moments. And as her school bus would pass grandpa's store, a recognizable setting from the classic film "Where the Red Fern Grows" each day, she would again be transported to a different place and time. Always fascinated with acting, she enrolled in a few improv courses in college. Then, in 2010 she answered a casting call for a comedy seeking extras in Oklahoma City. And, it was during that filming for "Just Crazy Enough," she met Chris Kattan, best known for his time on Saturday Night Live. After that experience, she was hooked. She soon began jumping at every chance to gain experience on set. "My idea of a perfect weekend is to be on location somewhere creating movie magic. Seeing the art of how acts are brought to life. Seeing everything in front and behind the scenes. The people I meet from all over the state, and even the world, make it all worthwhile. I'm having so much fun. To me it is another form of art. A craft that I wish to keep learning and hopefully one day master." ~ Angela
