Terry Kaye

Terry Kaye is a professional actress, singer and writer who has performed across the United States, Canada and Europe in theatre, television and film. She starred as Claire in the pilot episode of Forbidden Doors - the Series, based on the popular series of novels by Bill Myers. The pilot was screened at the Beverly Hills Film and New Media Festival. A Los Angeles resident, Terry is a native New Yorker and maintains that East Coast edge. Real life experience as a Police Specialist has made her equally comfortable portraying a sweet ingénue or a seasoned police detective - and she is fluent in police-radio-squawk. At five feet tall, she is small in stature, but there is nothing small about her presence on stage or screen. This petite powerhouse really packs a punch. As a singer, Terry appeared on the American Music Awards singing backup for Jessica Simpson. A self-described "compulsive harmonizer," Terry has performed at New York City's Don't Tell Mama and LA's Gardenia, and recently brought down the house at Pasadena's third annual Jazzy Jam Festival with the cover band Rapid Response. Terry grew up in a home where the written word was revered, and she still loves the power of language. She also takes after both of her parents as an "incorrigible punster." Her writing has been published in the short story collection The Ultimate Halloween, in several national and trade publications, and on national blogs including the Huffington Post. Terry was one of the first American exchange students to attend the Moscow Art Theatre College. She also studied at the prestigious National Theatre Institute at the Eugene O'Neill Theatre Center.
