A native of Burlington, North Carolina, Temple set out on a mission to take this acting thing by storm a few years ago. Having the desire to act very early in life, Temple realized she could do anything she saw anyone else do and maybe even better, including acting. With that determination, perseverance and lots of passion, she soon realized anything is possible. That proved to be even truer after arriving in Los Angeles and starting to work immediately at her craft.She has appeared in national magazines working as an editorial and swimsuit model. She debuted in a lead role in the television show "It's a Miracle" as well as the soap operas "Passions" and "The Young and the Restless." She was recently cast in a Paul Reiser Pilot for CBS as the wife of Omar Benson Miller (Things We Lost In the Fire, 8 Mile, and Shall We Dance). Temple also has a few independent films under her belt including "The Hustle" and "Hip Hop 2000" along with a collection of shorts that have been previewed at several film festivals around the country. You might have seen Temple in a few television commercials, as well, including a Time Warner Cable national commercial that is currently running. Temple has also done a voice-over radio ad and a print ad for the Time Warner Cable company. You can also catch this starlet-on-the-rise in other print ads for Verizon Wireless, X-Box Live and Bank of America and on the cover of romance novels in your local book store.Temple is thrilled to have the everyday challenges of keeping herself working in this ever-challenging industry. While this actress is proving to give the term "go-getter" true meaning, she manages all of this with an amazing personality and surprising humbleness. Hide
