1. Who are you?
I'm Jemma Irene Garrard, born in Chatham on the 18th July 1985... making
me Cancer the crab, or the Year of the Ox, or whichever animal makes me and
everyone else born that month go crazy on a full moon!
2. What is it that attracted you to acting initially?
It kinda started when i was kid, ive always been into cartoons and
animation, using your imagination and bringing characters to life!
Acting developed from there, I suppose its the feeling of becoming someone
else, putting everything into it to make the character believable for others.
Its a very fulfilling experience - bringing your imagination to life!
3. How did you come to get involved in the movie, Eightball,
and how did you meet up with the crew?
I went to school with Rob Allison (the director) and when he told me about
Eightball I invited him and Jack Vine along to see a show I was in at
the time (playing Rizzo in Grease).
After that we met for a few script readings, and the rest, as they say is history.
We would arrange days for shooting, which was quite hard, as a lot of the cast
were studying, there had to be a lot of commitment with the whole cast and crew.

the low-budget action drama Eightball (right), and whose career star is
definitely in the ascendency.
