BIO - Jennifer Wagner (or "JT" as she prefers to be called) has been involved in the Performing Arts for most of her life. Her father (the late Alex Toland) was a set designer for numerous film productions. When Jennifer decided on acting as her career choice, it probably came as no surprise to friends and family. She studied Drama for three years at "The School of the Performing Arts". Later, she auditioned for the Lee Strasberg Theater. She was accepted after her second audition and chose the Stanislavski "method" of acting as her major. It was during this period in her life that she became a client of the Charnoff Agency which provided her the opportunity to develop her craft in a professional capacity. The experience she gained through her studies at the Strasberg Theatre, frequent seminars at the Actor's Studio and the training she received from some of the legends of the theatre led to a teaching position at the Village East Workshop in NYC.

Presently, Ms. Wagner teaches in New York and at the Weist-Barron-Ryan Acting Studio in Atlantic City.She also teaches privately in Southampton, NY. JT's theory, while based on Stanislavski, is rooted in the belief that the actor is an artist and she strives to help her students to become well-respected professionals (experts in human behavior). She is an instructor in Stanislavskis "METHOD" and in Chekov...Her classes are psychologically driven and primarily for the camera....

Along the way, Jennifer has appeared in dozens of theatre productions. Among her stage credits, J.T. is proud to list "Women Behind Bars", "Sweet Bird of Youth", "Orpheus Descending", and the "Effect of Gamma Rays on Man in the Moon Marigolds".

Recently, Jennifer has been enjoying success in the film industry. She has just been offered and accepted the role of 'Gladys' in the soon to be released film production of John Connor's "The Parting Glass". She has also been given the role of 'Barbara' in the David Weintraub production of "Deadly Reprisal".

J.T. wishes to thank John Connor, Lee Strasberg, Geraldine Page, Shelly Winters, Irma Sandrey, and of course Ursula Ryan and Bob Macks
