Julia Morizawa

Julia Morizawa has performed in nearly 100 film, television, stage and internet productions throughout her career. Based in Los Angeles, she is a member of SAG-AFTRA and Equity. Her primary type is "snarky best friend," but she is also known for her "troubled young adult" and "bitchy executive." Highlights include the feature films Judas Kiss and Tied Up (awarded Best Supporting Actress at the Denver Underground Film Festival); TV appearances on Lewis Black's The Root of all Evil and ER; the title role in East West Players' production of Masha No Home; and series regular roles on the webseries Star Trek: Odyssey and Frontier Guard. She is currently training at The Second City and is represented by H. David Moss & Associates.

Julia has also written, produced and starred in some of her own original projects including:

JesusCat (or How I Accidentally Joined a Cult) (feature film): an improvisational mockumentary, co-created with Shaina Vorspan and currently in post-production, about a vlogger, a cat, a cult and the second-coming of Jesus Christ. Short teaser videos online at: www.youtube.com/JesusCatMovie.

Twenty-Two (stage play): premiered at the Knightsbridge Theatre in January 2010. LA Theatre Review stated, "Well, if art is supposed to imitate life, Twenty Two has accomplished its mission. The characters are totally believable, the dialogue is as natural as it gets and the acting overall is amazingly realistic."

Sin & Lyle (short film): nominated for Best Female Filmmaker at the Action on Film International Film Festival and official selection at the Boulder Asian Film Festival in 2007. The film is currently available to view in full on IMDB.

Memoirs of a Wannabe Sex Addict (book): a collection of short erotic stories, currently available on Amazon (paperback and Kindle). Erotica Revealed stated, "Morizawa is a first-rate writer. The quality of the writing blends literate prose with an accessible style that few authors can manage."
