Kelley Hogan grew up in a football household. Her father coached the Phoenix College "Bears" to a National Championship in football in 1964. How could football not be her metaphor for life!?

"It Ain't Over 'Til It's Over!"

Watching her Dad's teams come through in the clutch just when it counted, has taught her the value of "managing the clock." Which comes in handy when rekindling an acting career!

"Make The Most of the Gifts You've Got!"

"Why does the daughter of an American football coach want to study acting in England?" Said Roger Croucher the Principal of LAMDA. "Because I want to know what Vanessa Redgrave knows" came the reply. Kelley graduated from LAMDA and has continued to train with many amazing acting teachers over the years. Never understimate Arizona girls who know how to scout the best players for their team!

"Winning Isn't Everything; It's the Only Thing!"

Returning to the US after drama school, she landed her first job at Scottsdale's Actor's Lab Arizona, playing her dream role of Kate in The Taming of the Shrew (see gallery for photos) and earning her Equity card. She has gone on to play in the big leagues in LA, NYC and back in London.

"When The Going Gets Though The Tough Get Going!"

Over the past few years she turned her passion for Shakespeare, film, and all things acting-related into obtaining her MA in Theatre and a teaching career (coaching younger actors of course!) which has, in turn, sparked her renewed interest in acting.

"Grin & Bear It!"

Rediscovering that deep down she's an actress at heart has inspired her return to acting. She knows the game plan, has prepped and stretched her acting muscles for the big game and is ready to take the field and have a winning season!

As a great coach once said:

"WINNERS NEVER QUIT AND QUITTERS NEVER WIN!"
