In Thorns, Archbishop Jenkins (played by Doug Bradley) mentors an ex-priest working for NASA who is sent to investigate a remote observatory that went silent after receiving a mysterious radio signal from deep space. Upon arrival, he discovers the signal opened a portal unleashing a thorned monster. The former priest must now summon his lost faith to stop the signal from spreading hell on earth.

She has been the principal actress in numerous regional TV commercials and corporate training videos. She is an accomplished on-camera and voice actor known for such roles as deputy secretary Gina (Desperation Road), lead prosecutor Wendy Carr (Noble Vision), missing persons Detective Toni Parmeter (A Trail’s End), and neurotropic scientist Dr. Helen Vaughn (Verity Weaver – podcast based out of London, England). In her youth, she also sung in Carnegie Hall in New York City with an elite choir comprised of select U.S. and Japanese women’s ensembles. She is a native of and currently resides in West Lafayette, Ind.
