SHERRIE ROSE

At 16 Sherrie Rose left the trailer park she grew up in and attended USF as an engineering student. She was on the Dean's List for electrical engineering and theatrical performance at the same time. She became an actor after installing the sound board in the theater at the University and saw how much fun and camaraderie the actors had on the stage. She got great reviews from her first play, and got parts in "Miami Vice" (1984) and a lead in the comedy Summer Job (1989). She was entered for an Emmy nomination for her work in "Tales from the Crypt" (1989).
