Demo Reel - Ellen Becker-Gray Actor, SAG-AFTRA, AEA (Performance Video) Quicktime
Ellen Becker-Gray grew up in the seacoast town of Marblehead, Massachusetts. Her first experience on stage was as a 10 year old performing in the musical, Oklahoma. This initiated a life-long dream for an acting career. Ellen also aspired to entertain, teach and integrate performing arts with curriculum. After an established teaching career for over 30 years, Ellen took early retirement to focus on an acting career. Her transition to film began in 2004, following what turned out to be her final year of teaching. Since then, she has worked in more 90 films, television, commercials and educational videos. In addition to performing, Ellen directs, produces and teaches acting. Ellen is a proud member of Actor's Equity and SAG-AFTRA. Ellen’s life has changed dramatically. Now, she no longer prepares lessons for her classroom. Instead, she is preparing for her next role.
