The second series of Cutting It is near its climax and Sarah Parish and Amanda Holden are still engaged in a war of passion and peroxide. Sarah experienced her first taste of fame after appearing as the Boddingtons girl in a series of television adverts but had her acting break with Hearts And Bones. We took the chance to have a chat with the striking 34-year-old who was born in Yeovil and find out more about the actor who has worked with the likes of Robson Green, Daniela Nardini and Ian McShane. Somerset Sarah said: "I was born in Yeovil and am proud to be able to say I come from Somerset. I try to get back to the area as often as I can. "I live in Hampstead, London but find I miss the pace of life here and the people - who actually smile and have time to say hello to you. "Cutting It will be filming again in October so I have a four month break and plan to be in Yeovil for a while with my parents. "I've also come home to meet up with Yeovil Youth Theatre and see a play. I am President of the theatre and am very proud of everyone there and come back to see plays quite regularly.  | | Sarah went to drama school in London when she was 18 and worked in a chocolate shop before landing her first acting job |
Career "I went to drama school in London when I was 18 and worked in a chocolate shop before landing my first job working for Theatre in Education Tours. "This was a great experience and gave me the chance to tour Italy. "Then, I did a couple of other musicals until 1994 when I became the Boddingtons girl. Casting producers saw the advert and presumed I was from the North which in turn landed me the role of receptionist Dawn Budge in Peak Practice in 1998." Sarah's never looked back. After leaving the show in 1999, She's been a regular in The Vice, Hearts and Bones and Cutting It. Her recent credits also include the drama short Table 12 and Sirens with Daniela Nardini, Greg Wise, and Murder's Robert Glenister. Cutting It Sarah said: "I can cut hair but not very well. We usually use use wigs to be on the safe side. The current series ends next week with a serious cutting hair showdown. Wigs were vital for this scene. "In the future I'm interested in doing a TV series in America, something meaty, like the political drama The West Wing which is superb. I would like to work out there but not necessarily live there. "The thing I love about my job is the fact that you are meeting new people all the time and every day is different. I never know what scenes are going to be like or how things are going to work out." |
