Brittany Seen on Comedy Central's Roast of David Hasselhoff

I am beginning to think the Hoff and I are meant to be, after working with him for 2 week straight on separate jobs. haha.
A few weeks ago, I was booked as a feature on the Roast of David Hasselhoff on Comedy Central! Basically, there were 15 girls strategically placed around the set/audience, so the camera could get our reactions to the show. They didnt air many of the girls reactions, but they did air mine! I can be seen during the Gilbert Gottfried set.
It was so much fun being there with so many fun people in the industry I sat next to Craig Robinson (Derryl from 'The Office' & Hot Tub Time Machine) for part of the show and Krista Allen & Gena Lee Nolin (Baywatch babes) for the last portion.
Since the show, I have also been invited to be a part of NBC's the sing-off, among others. I am looking forward to the next season of America's Best Dance Crew, since the same agency will book me for that, as well. I will get to sit right behind the judges, smile and enjoy the show!

Invited to be a SAG member!


The other day, I received a letter from Screen Actor's Guild, inviting me to be a part of the prestigious actor's union! This is a pivotal moment in any actor's career. There are only 100,000 members in the world and every known actor in a movie, commercial or industry project is SAG. To be invited you must be an extra in SAG project 3 times, or a principal actor in a movie or commercial, once.


After filming the HP commercial as a principal actor, I was eligible to join the union. SAG actors get paid twice as much as non-union actors, have special food and amenities on-set and are able to make a career out of acting. This is my goal, and SAG brings me one step closer to achieving it!


Some people work in the industry their whole lives and never get invited to be SAG, I just feel so blessed that everything has fallen in to place so far in my career. Thank you to all of you who support me!




Comic-Con 2010 is a HIT for Princess Encounters!

I was welcomed with open arms and camera lenses at San Diego Comic Con 2010! I appeared as Sleeping Beauty, to promote my company, http://www.princessencounter.com/.



Since the close of Comic Con, I have received countless pictures, emails and website links to people who loved Princess Aroura! I was so pleased to see the CoolJerk.com said "Here’s another example of cosplay done right! Meet Brittany Skipper. That day she was Sleeping Beauty, but I know she’s also cosplayed most of Disney’s stable of princesses (Belle, Ariel, Tinkerbell, Alice, Cinderella, Snow White, among others). And it’s kind of refreshing to see costuming done completely devoid of the perv/skank quotient. Bravo, Brittany!"




It is great to hear that all of the hard work and investment into these couture costumes is truly paying off and getting a wonderful response from parents, kids and fans of cosplay!
