Congrats to Jenna Caswell who just shot the role of Kelly on Guiding Light. Kelly gets into an argument with her boyfriend in the park, so Jenna got to put her acting chops to good use. She met both Rob Decina and Alison Goodman here at TVI Actors Studio and obviously made a good impression on them. Way to go
