Jo Wheatley

Jo has never been afraid to take on challenges in life. Cameo roles in TV and film are where she now excels. Every day is an adventure. A childhood determination to work with wild animals led to a long career as a zoo keeper until injuries started to take their toll. Amazing experiences and a cheery, unflappable temperament have produced an appreciation for making the most of life. Acting has been a part of life from an early age. Non-verbal communication skills are essential for working safely around all sentient beings, be they big cats, great apes and especially humans. These skills transfer into the acting world, especially as a character actress conveying extremes of emotions through facial expression and body language.
