In the summer of 2003, Darla was getting the itch again to pursue her lifelong dreams. She and a friend attended a convention where she met one of her favorite actors. After having the opportunity to talk for a few minutes, this person told Darla to "Never give up." These words stuck with her. After hearing those words from someone she really admired, Darla made some changes in her life and committed to pursue acting full-time. Two months later, Darla had a "featured" role in her first movie "The Punisher," which she says is one of the best experiences she’Äôs ever had. Within three years of becoming a full-time actor, traveling throughout the state of Florida to attend classes, auditions and for work, Darla became one of the biggest commercial and hosting bookers in the state. Since there were not as many film and TV productions in Florida, Darla worked on several independent and short films, as well as booking a day player role on the TV show "South Beach." In late 2006, Darla booked a national Super Bowl commercial for Bud Light. After that, her acting teacher at the Performers Studio Workshop in Tampa, suggested she move to Los Angeles. In June 2007, Darla FINALLY made the move and is now a working actor in LA - very happy and living her dreams. "Better late than never!"
