26-years old actress Danielle Lozeau nude debut (full-frontal) in The Black Water Vampire (2014)
The role of Danielle Mason was originally and aptly named Christine the virgin. Understandably, it took some time to cast the lead because of the nudity cachet. Ambitious Leo and cutie-pie Danielle Lozeau didn't hesitate in auditioning and easily clinching the role. After much discussion, her character had a name change to Danielle (mirroring her first name). The tough cookie also made sure the full frontal was shot tastefully. Expect more eye-catching performances and nudity from the Massachusetts native in near future.Danielle Lozeau [1], [2], [3] was a classically trained ballerina and began studying ballet seriously at the age of nine. She went to win gold's at numerous Dance competitions across the US for several years, before deciding at the age of 14 that acting was the path she wanted to pursue. To pursue her acting career, her parents let her head to New York where she appeared in numerous Indie Films and television shows. She appeared in the the FOX hit TV series Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles and the Blockbuster hit Legion. In February of 2010 she gained recognition from The New York times for her performance in a gritty indie film Red Hook Black. Danielle Lozeau is now most known for her role as Maria de Alverta in Garden of Hedon, where she also got a best actress nomination at the Terror Film Festival. Danielle has also played the recurring role of Renee in a television pilot Busted Roots, the sweet girl next door in another award winning indie Believe You Me, and the leading role of Nix in the Marvel-Esq film, The Devil Girl of Devonshire.

1. How did you get into the industry?
I had always wanted to be an actress since I was a little kid, but coming from a family that had nothing to do with the Industry, it wasn’t until 13 that I really started to pursue Film/TV. I used to pick up the Backstage Newspaper (which had film/tv job postings), and I would self submit to projects through hard copy submissions. My mother would then drive me into NY three to four times a week for auditions and classes. I didn’t book my first project until I was 14, which was a TV Mini-series called “Seasons” which I shot for a couple months in Hartford CT. It was my first real audition and on-screen work, and I guess that was the first time that I really knew I had found something I wanted to continue doing. Since “Seasons” I started to audition more in NY and take on roles in small indies, short films, and Television Series. At the age of 20, I ended up getting more work to add to my resume that included blockbuster hits “The Eye” with Jessica Alba, “Legion” with Dennis Quaid, and “Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles” on FOX.
2. What Scream Queen inspired you most?
I have always been a fan of Drew Barrymore since “ET”, but she really steals the show in “Scream”. I think her performance in “Scream” is one of my favorites of any scream queen. I remember seeing a interview with Wes Craven, and he stated that he was blown away by her level of emotion and believability that she brought to her role, even though she was the first to go. Neve Campbell is my close second.
3. What are the next couple projects you are working on?
This year has been just incredible. Since January I have finished filming 6 features that include; “The Black Water Vampire” which I star and features actor Bill Oberst Jr (directed by Jesse Baget whom directed Gina Gershon and Val Kilmer in “Breathless”), “The Murders of Brandywine Theater” with Dian Bachar, Martin Klebba, and Dallas Page, “Misogynist” with Jonathan Bennett (Mean Girls) and Jon Briddell, “The Other Side” which I shot in PA, “The Bell Witch Haunting” which comes out on DVD Nov 3rd, and “The Glass House” that I just finished shooting in Chicago last month. Most are going to have a festival run and hopefully will be released next year! My website always features information on upcoming films and where my current films are going to be released!

Five Questions With Actress Danielle Lozeau
As I'm helping with publicity and public relations for feature film Misogynist, with my family's movie company Ryan Pickett Productions as a promoter for the movie, I was gracious to have the opportunity to interview actress Danielle Lozeau. Having worked in movies since 2003, Danielle has numerous acting credits to her name, including television shows and movies, and she is looking forward to several projects this year. I discovered a great deal of information about Danielle on her elegantly designed website and her IMDb page, while the following five question interview helped delve into more detail about her life. Learn more about Misogynist on Facebook and IMDb.
Theresa Pickett (TP): You've recently finished shooting feature film Misogynist. Can you tell us about the role you have in the movie? Did you prepare for your character April the way you do for all your roles, or did you do anything different?
Danielle Lozeau (DZ): I play April, the young virgin, who is to be married to Harrison. April is very young and naïve, and she sees that everything in her life is just perfect -- but it's not. I think we have all experienced where April is in this movie at some point in our life, and for me that life experience helps me draw things for her. As for preparing for the role, I don't really need to do any sort of method acting or anything. I show up on set, with my lines memorized, and I allow myself to be open to the moment. The emotions in several scenes just came naturally, really. It was just being present in that scene and connecting with both Jonathan Bennett and Jon Briddell. Listening and thinking during the scenes was really the key. The only different I faced when doing those emotional scenes, was having to come down off this ledge at the end of the night. Driving home from set at 3 a.m. - 4 a.m., and having to listen to peppy lighthearted music to bring my body down from shaking. I love doing those scenes, but your body goes through so much in just a short amount of time, and you have to be willing to go there and know how to get back out.
TP: You were a prima ballerina before you became an actress. What inspired you to go into acting? Do you feel that dancing competitively helped you become a better actress?
DZ: Being on stage dancing my whole childhood really fueled the acting bug. I loved to perform for audiences and create these stories with movement and music. It was a journey every performance, and the journey was always different depending on how you felt that day. Although I acted in several plays while pursuing dance, I didn't try to audition for anything until I was 14. I feel that having so many years of dance, learning routines, has assisted me in feeling comfortable moving about in a scene. Acting is very much like learning choreography in a different sense. You have to know your lines and be willing to move about the scene and bring objects into your character without hesitation.
TP: What's your favorite thing to do outside of acting?
DZ: I really enjoy arts and crafts. Pulling DIY projects off the internet and putting the projects in my home. I recently made a succulent terrarium out of a fish bowl I bought at a thrift store. Yes, two of the succulents have died from over-love -- but I am learning how not to over-love plants. If I can be creative in another sense when I am not able to act it helps me stay sane.
TP: You must travel a lot for work. What helps you most when you're on the road?
DZ: I personally love spending time (in) hotels in other states. I wouldn't change my traveling for the world, I actually prefer it than shooting near my home. It has led me to experience so much in life, and see and meet so many people. I always try to take a day and explore the area I am in, see a local land mark or such. I know there are times that being on the road does get very lonely, but I tell myself, it's an experience you will never forget. I usually take my cat with me everywhere I go. I know that sounds wildly insane, but I have spent five to six months this year on the road and in hotel rooms by myself. So my Siamese has flown with me everywhere, and she makes me feel that slight feeling of stability. She is my travel buddy, and has seen the world as much as I have. She makes the world of acting less lonely.
TP: What other projects do you have coming up in the next year?
DZ: Well, I have just recently finished my sixth feature this year in Chicago, called "The Glass House." I shot a feature at the beginning of this year called "Black Water Vampire," and it will be released on DVD on January 21st by Image Entertainment/Ruthless Pictures. Just days before filming "Misogynist" I was in Ohio filming "The Murders of Brandywine Theater," which will hopefully land a great distribution deal or hit festivals next year. Working on Murders of Brandywine has lead me to obtain another role in the feature "Brothers Grimm: Pest Removal" which will shoot next year and will star Roddy Piper, Dian Bachar, Bill Mosley and Kane Hodder. I am also leaving in a few weeks to start filming another feature in Maryland called "Days of Power."

Actress Danielle Lozeau - from Soap Opera pilot to indie films
December 1, 2010
Actress Danielle Lozeau loved to create stories and imagine a life outside of her own. She was a prima ballerina most of her life to the age of 13. As a kid she loved to perform stories through dance, and act in front of family members. So when Danielle was 14, she decided that she wanted to pursue acting. Danielle persuaded her mother into taking her to New York. The Massachusetts native landed her first acting job on a Soap Opera Pilot called Seasons. Even at 14, Danielle was determined to keep the projects coming.
Danielle recently completed three lead roles in three feature films back to back this year, one in New York called Red Hook Black which was directed by Luis Landivar, one in Texas called Believe You Me directed by Scott Honea, and she most recently wrapped The Garden of Hedon directed by Kevin Kangas in Maryland. Danielle has also had principle roles in larger studio films including The Eye with Jessica Alba, Legion with Dennis Quaid and Paul Bettany and FOX’s TV show Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. She completed two short films called The Cockle Cove Inn and Asleep in Child’s Park in 2010. Both short films are already hitting the film festival market. Asleep in Child’s Park just received best film shot on the red at the American International Film Festival in Michigan.
Danielle has also enjoyed working alongside Maryland based actors like Richard Cutting, Manuel Poblete, and Beau Peregino.
Does Danielle like to travel out of state for auditions? She is a fan of traveling. If Danielle can get an audition out of state, she will go. For Danielle, filming out of the state she lives in lets her experience the film more. By 2013, Danielle would love to do bigger indie films and more studio films. Studio films help you gross a bigger audience and having a bigger audience helps fund the smaller movies you’re really passionate about. Danielle is setting her sights on doing a movie that goes to Sundance, Tribeca or South by South West Film Festival. You can learn more about actress Danielle Lozeau at www.daniellelozeau.net.
