Life is About Pursuing Your Dreams and Desires, not your Parents – Episode #46

Carlease BurkeI am excited to have as my guest, the lovely and talented actress, Carlease Burke.

 Carlease will discuss her recent 40-pound weight loss.  It was the “Aha” moment in her acting career that made her change her eating habits and improve her health.

Growing Up in New York and Moving to LA

Carlease will also take us on her personal journey growing up in Hollis, Queens, N.Y. to two loving, middle-class parents whose desire for her was to go to school and become a teacher.  To please her parents, Carlease attended City College of NY and received her Bachelor of Arts Degree in Pre-Law.  Carlease, realizing from her birth that what she really wanted to do was to act, decided to follow her passion.  She packed her bags and moved out to LA.  The rest, as they say, is history.

Life is Good in LA

Carlease began what is now a very lucrative, rewarding, and fulfilling career as an actress of stage, film, and television.  She has over 100 acting credits to her name having worked with some of the biggest stars in Hollywood, such as John Travolta in “Get Shorty”, Tom Hanks in “The Terminal”, Jennifer Lopez in “The Back-up Plan”, William H. Macy in Shameless, and Marlee Matlin in Sweet Nothings in My Ear, to name a few.

To whom much is given, much is required

Carlease is all about giving back as she speaks about the causes she supports and her upcoming projects and coaching program for actors.  This, and so much more is in this very informative interview.  You can find out more about Carlease Burke by visiting her website at http://www.carleaseburke.com.  You can also follow her on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.
