In addition to appearing on reality television shows, Eliza Jayne has also been showing off her acting chops. The multitalented young lady will also appear on the upcoming film, Zombie Girl Diaries.

How did you wind up modeling? When I was younger my parents and I were approached at the mall by someone who had a interest in putting me in a hair show for Clairol.
Did you expect to gain so much success so quickly? Not exactly I don’t meet the typical requirements for most female models so my sucess has been very rewarding.
How did you wind up being selected by so many major companies? I honestly do not have an actual reason besides I push and promote my work constantly hoping that the right people will eventually see me and learn about my work.
What was it like to see yourself on the Dove ad in New York? An overwhelming feeling of excitement and helped me realize that all my hard work was paying off and it was worth what it has taken to get there.
Can you name some of the companies you have worked with? I have worked may companies doing promotional work such as, Dove, Axe, Tag, CoverGirl, Clairol, Pasta Barilla, Twisted Tea, Miller Lite, Toyota, Marlboro, just to name a few.
In addition to modeling, you are also a paranormal investigator, can you talk about that? I have had experiences with the paranormal world, starting from when I was a little girl. As I grew older, so did my interest in discovering more about those things that I had experienced. I was lucky enough to get in touch with the right people and was able to learn how to be an investigator and work with several different teams.
What has been your most bizarre encounter while investigating? I would have to say that the one specific location, we had caught what appeared to be a figure in the corner of room. The figure was obviously something we were not able to explain even after many attempts to re create it.
Do you find it difficult to juggle two very different professions? No, actually I enjoy the variety.
Can you tell us more about your role on “Haunt U” on Comcast ON DEMAND’s Paranormal TV? On set, I worked as a Trainee learning the ropes on being a paranormal investigator with the team Paranormal Task Force. They are a well known group based out of St. Louis, MO. We filmed in Philadelphia, PA in the Eastern State Penn.
Along with modeling and investigating, you are also an actress, can you tell us more about your acting career? I have always been a preformer, my parents could tell you that from the time I was little, developing my own personality. Always in front of the camera. I began doing plays and musicals in school. Eventually, I began working with independent film makers and have been able to do more acting with a variety of different people in the industry.
You will be appearing in Zombie Girl Diaries, would you tell us more about that? The cast and crew were amazing, this will not be your typical zombie flick, the story is about a mother and daughter making their way through the zombie apocolypse. The cast includes a variety of actors with great talent.
Will you have many more upcoming film roles? I have been cast for two more movies to be filmed in the next year and I am always looking for new projects and opportunities.
