Gwen Rudy

Elaine's working writing projects while driving her acting career.

Voice Overs, she booked her 8th audition ever with RED BULL, who cold read her for a 9th audition "sheep" which aired.

 In shorts she has been a reporter, an abused woman, a bipolar drug addict ("Chronicles of a Love Unfound"), an innocent girl in "The Watchmaker", on to the hottie two-timing comedic lead in the quickly paced "Notting Hill"..

 Capogeannis is usually cast as sexy, and intelligent - or their exact opposite.

 THE LAST TYCOON: SEASON ONE (2017) had her in a featured background role as Jennifer Beals' dowdy seamstress. Elaine was given her own stature as "Margo's seamstress" and, highly featured and directed throughout the season as such -- though removed in final cuts -- crew alike were coming-up to her with remarks at how funny her subtle humor and reality of character was provided. One PIX here on IMDb.

 Lovely reviews throughout the years ( one bad one ) .. which to "Lainey" is a confirm of her hard work.

 "LIAR LIAR" creator and co-writer Paul Guay cast Elaine for his directing debut of "Play It Again, Sam" (by Woody Allen) at the Santa Monica Morgan-Wixson in 2012. Her two small parts lead to yet another lovely review in this case from STAGE SCENE LA (Steven Stanley). Elaine played the opposite characters of "Dream Sharon" crazy sex machine, and the very real, nerdy, earthy "Barbara" Woody Allen's character ends-up with at the end (both pix here online).

One afternoon, one of the excellent actresses had to be taken to the hospital. Paul asked Elaine to memorized that part as well for that night's show. Elaine did, and played that beautiful talent's part along with her own two. Afterward when asked audience members said they thought she was 3 completely different people.!! She noted it felt amazing, years of work paying off.

 "Lainey", as known by her dearest, continually hones her craft through stage the way Marlon Brando did "Streetcar Named Desire" for 2 years in theater before he was chosen for the film version. Her plays have good range, from situational comedy (KJAZZ Helen Borgers' chosen court jester THE FOOL in "King Lear" while dual role playing Cordelia every night for Borgers' own Shakespeare troupe, to the doe-eyed bubble-head innocent Meg in Ken Salzman's "Leading Ladies") on over to heavy dramatic roles (the mentally broken Bella in Salzman's "Gaslight", the fiery ingenue Terry Randall in "Stage Door" at the Long Beach Playhouse, and the pure, stronghearted Lady Macduff, a boy, and a witch in "Macbeth" played evenings in a beautiful, historical bookstore's courtyard in Brentwood). These worked the emotional craft.. and received some great support in lovely reviews noted here under IMDb's "awards".

 A UCLA grad, Elaine interned for :

NBC CH.4 NEWS Dr Bruce Hensel, CBS PUBLICITY, SAA (Special Artists Agency), UNIVERSAL STUDIOS (w/Lynn Arost in Bryan Levant's bungalow), MONTEREY BAY AQUARIUM & two VETERINARIANS .. while studying through independents to act - Stanislavski and method, film and commercial, stage, and voice over work.



Vocally Elaine's range is - D3 to A5.

Playing opposite roles in one sitting, able to make animal sounds and sing - have lent to some interesting characters..
