Sylvia Stewart

Curiosity and her love for film and TV led Sylvia Stewart to an open call for background performers in her final year of high school. A multidisciplinary artist, Sylvia passed her time modeling, acting in student films, singing in her own indie band and pursuing her studies in Business Administration and later in Literature.In 1997, the former gymnast (intensive practice from 6 years old) was given an opportunity to use her physical talent by Hollywood stunt coordinator Jeffrey J. Dashnaw on the series Soldier of Fortune, Inc. (1997). A combined lust for action and a want to communicate through such a powerful medium as film and TV led to more opportunities as an actress (alongside Vanessa Williams and Wesley Snipes) and as a stunt double (The Day After Tomorrow (2004), Helix (2014)).After a slew of acting classes with different teachers, Ms. Stewart has benefited greatly from her experience Carter Thor East (now Straeon Acting Studios) in 2006-2008 under Jock MacDonald. She has had the pleasure of working for numerous directors, most notably, Ron Underwood, Yves Simoneau, Roland Emmerich, Steven A. Adelson, Brad Turner, François Girard, Jim Kaufman, Kari Skogland, Christian Duguay, Robert Berlinger, Jean-Pierre Jeunet and Darren Aronofsky amongst others.Ms. Stewart enjoys writing, developing and directing her own documentary and live action short films/music videos. Her music video for her song, Despite You (2014) , was a Music Video Category Winner at the 2014 Original iPhone Film festival. Ms. Stewart has a facility for live improv, stand-up comedy, drama and the stamina for the lengthy work hours required to complete a film project. She is a dedicated mother of one, determined professional and she is excited about what the future holds. Show less «
