A couple of years ago I was cast as one of the Twelve Chefs of Quiznos for their new campaign.
My character didn’t have a name at that point – I was not going to be featured, simply part of a chef line-up. However, at the costume call I auditioned for the director (as did all the other chefs) for the role of the shirty chef who didn’t like the idea of his/her creations being demeaned by appearing in a commercial or lowered in price considering the amount of man-hours that had gone into creating it. I got the part! We filmed three commercials back to back (only two were actually broadcast) and I’ve just uploaded the one where Chef Evelyn (my character) appears.
Check out the Quiznos commercial here. I am wearing a particularly choice pair of chef’s pants covered in cartoon kitchen appliances. I also rather like my gigantic hat.
I’m in the process of uploading all my audio, video and stills from different projects for your delectation.
It just goes to show you that you never know what’s going to come of a humble costume call…….

Marilla who?
I am a British-born actress and stand-up comic who does lots of voice work (for commercials, cartoons and corporate clients) and sometimes, when I'm very lucky, tv and film. When I was in England I did mostly theatre. Now I'm in Canada I spend the majority of the time writing and performing stand-up. When I'm not making episodes of Talking Bollocks, that is. And that's me for you.
