My friend, (actress and director) Lourdes Uno nominated me last night to take the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. It certainly has been controversial - but it is a cause I wholeheartedly support. Watch my video here. Thank you again for the nomination, it is a cause I am proud to raise awareness for. To learn more about the cause, please visit http://www.alsa.org/fight-als/ice-bucket-challenge.html

Today I filmed a segment for a Travel Channel Series with Optoman Productions. I can't disclose too much info just yet - but I can share these fun photos from the set today! I played a wife of an inventor in the 1890's   The series will air in Spring 2015! I also did a small cameo as a woman in 1915

I was approached by the celebrity manager (sign of things to come with my career?!) of Foodie Website The Besty. I have traveled extensively in the last 5 years - and have chosen my favorite spots in my home city - New York, my native country - Australia and one of my favorite trips - Shanghai. Come check out what places topped my list! http://www.thebesty.com/becfordyce You can also create your profile - or search for other celebrities' picks - like Taylor Schilling or Leonardo DiCaprio. Stay tuned for my next entry - I am going to be working on Travel Channel's "Monumental Mysteries" tomorrow!

This week has been a wonderful week acting-wise! I teamed up with W Studios (@sohowestnj) to shoot a little segment for their web-series -  "Manhattan Up" We previously collaborated on a shoot for Cast Iron Lofts in New Jersey - read about the shoot from a previous blog entry  here Check out the pictures from the shoot today!  I even made a new friend - Blazing Bill! My segment will be airing in November, 2014... Stay tuned to watch the final product! Next up... I will be guest-starring in a Travel Channel TV series. I film on Friday!

I have been studying under one of my long-time coaches, Anthony Grasso again for the last few weeks. I love his classes - he is a working actor - and he shares such profound insights with us. My challenge has been remaining still on camera. Anthony decided to stretch my range with a scene from the 70's film "Klute".  I play Bree - an actress who moonlights as a high-class call girl. I had such a breakthrough last night - and was able to come up with some of my best work to date. Check it out!  I am so thrilled with what I was able to bring to the table with this role.

Although this event is totally unrelated to my acting - I thought these photos would be a lot of fun to share! An actress friend of mine, Danielle Ma is moving back to her native LA - and she has been doing a NYC "bucket list" before she goes home. I successfully woke up on Sunday and (with very little preparation) was able to pull off a pretty decent DIY costume in under an hour. The event tied in with the final season of HBO's "Boardwalk Empire".  We were lucky enough to see some of the musical acts that have been featured in the series! The costumes and activations at the venue were really something special!  The vintage cars were fun - and I just adored the Paper Moon portraits they had set up! I then invited my friends back to mine for a "Reverse Brunch" - and the festivities continued with a Potluck Style dinner...  I must say my guests were incredibly civilized and helpful! Such an incredible event!

Happy Hump Day! Just got confirmed to be a part of a new history series on Travel Channel. I can't reveal too much information just yet - but I can tell you that I will be filming next Wednesday (August 20) Watch this space for more info! In the meantime - keep up to date with my latest projects here or IMDb

One of the biggest challenges as an actor is our website. I feel that it is always in a state of being a "work in progress". That being said - I am thrilled to announce I have new reel footage, an updated bio and some new photos in the gallery! Come stop by and see what I've been working on lately www.becfordyce.com [scene from Mike Randazzo's "Second Chance"] More "Mr Sparkle" madness! (not actually featured on website - but I love these images!)

Last week was certainly a very busy week for me! I was fortunate enough to have my friend (and insanely talented photographer) Chris Gampat help me update my portfolio. We shot around my beautiful adopted neighborhood of Battery Park City last Tuesday afternoon.  It was extremely fortunate that the weather wasn't too humid! Check out the results!  I certainly was thrilled with how they turned out! The Phoblographer is about photography reviews, tips, news, and culture.

It was another awesome night of boobs, blood and rock n roll at The Pop Bar in Astoria!
