About Gwyn LaRee

Once a Marine, Always a Marine! That is very apparent in Gwyn's "can do" attitude, readiness to try to new things and perseverance.A true country girl at heart, Gwyn has driven semi-trucks, trained horses, been a bookkeeper and even worked recycling tires on her way to becoming the versatile and adaptable actress she is today. Local to the greater Portland, Oregon and Vancouver, Washington area Gwyn runs a retirement home for alpacas and volunteers in the local veteran community when she is not in front of the camera or training.With her service vetted by the Veterans in Media & entertainment and a resume that is as unique as she is, Gwyn is that perfect character for just about any project that needs a dose of realism.::Gwyn LaRee
Gwyn LaRee is an actor and voice over performer who brings a wealth of real life experience, hard work and reality to every character she embodies. Blue collar to the core, Gwyn lives in rural Southwest Washington where she runs a retirement home for alpacas when not performing. She and husband Mac are constantly upgrading their property and often have 2 or 3 projects going at any time. Whether taking out trees, running new fence or putting in retaining walls Gwyn gets in and works (no "gym muscles" here).Gwyn was one of those kids that started performing as soon as she could walk and getting her first role in a community theater production at 9 years old just strengthened her addiction. Still, life sometimes leads us in other directions and for her some of those adventures included: assistant horse trainer, veterinary receptionist, courier, data-entry clerk, long-haul truck driver, bookkeeper and (most influentially) a United States Marine. Gwyn's Marine Corps service saw her reach the rank of Corporal (E-4) as she worked in Switchboard/Telecommunications Repair while stationed at the 29 Palms Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center.After leaving the service, Gwyn earned a long sought after Bachelor degree (Magna cum Laude) from Western Oregon University in Theater Arts with a minor in Special Education. During this journey Gwyn spent two years wheelchair bound from neuropathy believed to be connected to her military service. Being matched with a service dog, Simba, from America's VetDogs in 2010 gave her the strength to pursue her acting career professionally. Simba has long since retired but Gwyn continues to support the America's VetDogs program every chance she gets....
