(Episode 248) "The Suicide Squad" Actor: Lynne Ashe.

<p>Episode 248.<br/>&quot;The Suicide Squad&quot;<br/>Actor:  Lynne Ashe.<br/><br/>Lynne Ashe is a Georgia-born character actress known for playing quirky characters with big personalities. Classically trained in Shakespearean and British Restoration theatre, Lynne was primarily a stage actress until 2011, when she was approached by a stage director she’d formerly worked with asking her to audition for a film he’d written. She landed a supporting role in “Crackerjack” and thus began her screen career.</p><p>Lynne was one of the first two graduates of the nationally acclaimed theatre program known as the Gainesville Theatre Alliance, a joint program between UNG and Brenau University in Gainesville, Georgia. Her graduate studies (in Theatre) were at Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, NC, where she studied under the tutelage of James Dodding and thereby fell in love with Shakespeare and Restoration Theatre. Through Wake Forest, she obtained a grant to study for a summer in Stratford-upon-Avon with the Shakespeare Institute and the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust.</p><p>Lynne is also a writer (poet, playwright and screenwriter) and jewelry artisan, selling her hand-make jewelry under the name “Ashelyn Designs” on Etsy.</p><p>Lynne finds it ironic that the southern dialect she strove so hard to overcome/neutralize during her high school and college theatre training was the very thing that helped land her first few screen roles. She had to re-train an accent she’d formerly tried to restrain.</p><p>Lynne is an advocate for raising awareness about an adipose-tissue and lymphatic disorder known as Lipedema, which primarily affects women, a condition which causes the body to create a type of fat on the lower half of the body which cannot be metabolized.<br/><br/><br/>Instagram: Monday Morning Critic Podcast.</p><p>Facebook: Monday Morning Critic Podcast.</p><p>Twitter: @DarekThomas or @mdmcritic</p><p>Website: www.mmcpodcast.com<br/><br/>Contact: Mondaymorningcritic@gmail.com</p>
