About
I am a professional film, television, and stage actress with more than 25 years of experience in the entertainment industry and a lifetime member of The Actors Studio. My television and film credits include Power, Star Trek, How I Met Your Mother, Ugly Betty, Criminal Minds, All My Children, and Girl You Know It’s True, among others. I have worked across drama, comedy, television, film, and theater, giving me firsthand experience of what actors face both on camera and on professional sets. As a coach and mentor, I bring that real-world experience to my students with honesty, encouragement, and practical guidance, helping them develop not only as actors but as confident, resilient artists prepared for the realities of the industry.

Wow! I really enjoyed my first session with Darlene very very much! I deeply felt she was able to bring out the best in me, and she definitely gave me great advice. In general I felt comfortable discussing what I had in mind which was nice. I hope to keep learning from her and connecting in meaningful ways. So I will definitely continue to seek her coaching services. Thanks Darlene!!

I’ve been working with Darlene for years now, she has great actor coaching skills. With her level of knowledge and experience as an actor herself, she’s able to innately communicate and coach an actor to discovering some wonderful work within themselves. I’ve had callbacks from working with Darlene. When I’m preparing for an audition, or whenever I have a self tape to submit, Darlene is my go to person for sure.
