Actor / Director Profile

An enigmatic and intriguing performer, Janet Lane's transition from stage to screen has resulted in swift, undisputable success. Lane first caught the eye of freshman director George Clooney, who quickly cast her as the Blonde Bachelorette in￿ Confessions of a Dangerous Mind (2002). She then went on to do a role on the hit MTV comedy series "Undressed" (1999). After a brief stint on Anthony Drazan's short lived NBC drama _"E.D.N.Y." (2003)_, Janet demonstrated her star potential by leading the ensemble cast of Gavin Heffernan's Independent feature, Expiration (2003). Her performance as a mysterious, soulful drug courier has received wide acclaim on the festival circuit from critics and audiences alike, prompting Jakeopolis to write, "the performance in Expiration by Janet Lane is enough to make you fall in love with movies all over again. She will own you for the entire running time." Part `film noir heroine', part `girl next door', Lane represents a new breed of Hollywood actress. Smart, sexy and ambitious, her rapid ascension through the acting ranks leaves little doubt that Janet Lane's best work is yet to come.
