Walkin' the Walk: David A. Gregory

Mr. Gregory's presence at the New York AIDS Walk today brightened the dreary weather for more than one reason, most important being the one where a man does indeed walk the walk and talk the talk. This talented actor has a loyal following for all the obvious reasons. There is a lot going on in his heart and mind. He is also quite a multi-tasker. There he was walking with the Broadway Impact team and studying lines. How he did it is less interesting than taking note of a highly motivated individual. Now say it out loud, "He has a bright future ahead of him!"

Having a father in show business as a drummer for rocker Billy Idol, Kelley and her brother were taught to play guitar and drums. She also enjoys singing and dancing. Kelley appeared as an orphan on Saturday Night Live in a vignette with Dan Aykroyd and Jimmy Fallon. After three years of not working, she told her mother she wanted to pursue the acting bug again and appeared on Comedy Central’s Dennis Leary Roast. She has successfully done several voiceover ads as well.At her audition forOne Life to Live in 2009, Kelley won the part of feisty teen, Danielle Rayburn immediately after her screen test. She credits her co-stars Trevor St. John, Florencia Lozano and Eddie Alderson with helping her evolve as an on-screen actress. We are very happy to add Kelley to Love Out Loud VI. She’ll take time out of her busy day to help us raise funds for AIDS Walk New York.

Shenell Edmonds Loves Out Loud

If you look in the dictionary for future international super star you will see pictured the schoene punim of Shenell Edmonds. This Hampden, CT native had her first official paid acting gig in a Lowe’s Home Improvement National Radio Commercial. Shenell joined One Life to Live in 2009 as scene stealer Destiny Evans, her first major television role. Before that life changing adventure in 2008, Miss Edmonds played Casey in the short family filmCouples Only. In addition to acting, Shenell enjoys dancing, listening to music, traveling, swimming and volunteering. If that doesn’t leave her breathless, she is honing her skills as a cook and hopes to be very good at it some day. In the meantime we are very proud to announce that she has volunteered to attend Love Out Loud VI, something which will make her many fans very happy.

Kristen Alderson Loves Out Loud

Bucks County, PA is somewhere fictional One Life to Live’s Llanview might very well be and it is the birthplace of Kristen Alderson who has been playing Starr Manning on the show ever since she auditioned for the role at the age of six— that’s more than half her life! She brought a lot of pizazz to the younger Starr, the offspring of two very, for lack of a better term, charismatic individuals: no mean feat. Alderson is a natural. At that early age Kristen was already a show business veteran given her experience as Molly in Annie. The multi-talented young lady virtually grew up with the character of Starr and then brought new and interesting interpretations to the role when Starr became a teen mother. She first came to Love Out Loud in 2008. Kristen will once again be joining our fundraiser. Let us hope the bright future that awaits her will serve as a good omen for AIDS Walk New York.

Billy Magnussen Loves Out Loud

Anyone who includes carpentry among his interests has to be quite an interesting fellow and As the World Turns was blessed with the very interesting Billy Magnussen as Casey Hughes fresh from his Broadway stage debut in the classic comedy, The Ritz, starring Rosie Perez in 2008. As a member of that cast it is particularly poignant because it was a hit originally in 1975 when the sexual mores of this country had not yet been effected by the HIV virus. This Queens native who was raised in the Deep South comes to Love Out Loud for a second time, along with other local celebrities, who are lending their names and energies to HIV and AIDS awareness—some are young people who don’t know a world without this disease. It is reassuring that this young man is involved in raising awareness as well as helping out with a fund raising effort.
