Wake Up, I'm Fat,Camryn Manheim ABC's The Practice *New

"It's all I ever thought about. I'm too fat. I've got to lose some weight. I'll never get a professional acting job if I'm that fat. And even though there were times when they'd actually say nice things about my acting, like: 'Camryn, that was great, really nice job,' I, of course, interpreted it as, 'Camryn, your acting in that scene was much less fat, that's the kind of slender acting we like to see.' That was my goal. To be a fat-free actor."

Camryn Manheim has never played by the rules. Her fierce determination to defy the beauty myth, the naysayers, and casting stereotypes has resulted in one of today's most remarkable and unique Hollywood success stories.

"This is for all the fat girls!" Manheim proudly proclaimed to the world.

Camryn Manheim is an actor, activist, writer, and playwright who rides a Honda, and whose current role as the smart, passionate, combative attorney Ellenor Frutt on ABC's The Practice earned her an Emmy Award and a Golden Globe Award for best supporting actress in a drama. Her film credits include Happiness, Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion, The Road to Wellville, Eraser, Mercury Rising, and Wide Awake.

She holds a master's degree in acting from NYU and is proud to have performed in most of New York's off-Broadway theaters, winning an Obie Award and an Encore Award for her performance in Craig Lucas's Missing Persons.

In 1994 she brought her acclaimed one-woman show, Wake Up, I'm Fat!, to the Joseph Papp Public Theater. She divides her time between New York and Los Angeles, but is registered to vote in New York.
