| Natasha Khan Mayet |
South African and Indian actress Natasha Khan Mayet, granted us an interview
in February, 2014 when she moved to Los Angeles from Cape Town, South Africa. Although she had been acting in South Africa, including feature
films such as Bleeding Gospel (Jacques Brown, Director) and Three Suspects (Dewet Dutoit, Director), her career in American film and
television was just starting out at the time, including gigs in "The
Creepy Guy" (James Mason, Director) and "Metropolitan Detective" (Marc Chicoine, Director). Since then, she shot a national commercial for
ProActive Plus, featuring Sarah Michelle Gellar.
She was also cast in
director Vincent Gomez’s play “The Desperate Yogi,” that was performed
at the Hollywood Fringe Festival. The director was so
happy with her audition that he decided to cancel all his auditions for
the next day and cast her on the spot. Natasha played four of the lead
female roles in the play, including the Indian goddesses Kali and
Parvati; a doctor; and a tour guide, for which she received great reviews
on her performance.
She also appears in the film about sex trafficking Trafficked (Will Wallace, Director).
In 2016, she filmed four episodes of
the television pilot “Office Girls,” based on the book of the same name,
directed by Dee Wright.
Natasha moved to Atlanta, Georgia in October, 2016, after she was
asked to attend a callback for a television series. There, in two months, she shot three films, a television series, and a pilot. She
was cast in the horror feature Room 511 (Matondo Kiantandu,
Director), and also appeared in the sci-fi short film "Hop" (Darion D'Anjou, Director). She also booked the Amazon Prime series “Music and Murder” (Greg Galloway, Director), and shot a role in a film “Hands” about
an underground fight club (Darion D’anjou and Isaac Carter, Directors).
And to add to the list of projects she has booked, she plays news
reporter Angela Lee on television pilot “Stimulus” (Trell Films).
Since the start of 2017, Natasha has already shot two films, including a
horror short entitled “Leave me Alive or Else” (Tesh Yana, Director) and
another short “Deception.” She is scheduled to film three other
projects this year, including a lead role as a vampire queen in a
feature for which she will begin stunt training in May, as well as a role as a news reporter in “Exoes of Silence,” a web series aimed at increasing awareness of sexual assault. She has six films
to be released in 2017. We wish her success in her
Atlanta adventures.
While
she is based in Atlanta, Natasha continues to audition for roles in Los
Angeles, and goes back and forth between both markets. Natasha also
believes that actors should be versatile and create their own work, and she
is currently working on writing and producing her own material,
including a horror feature.
