Andrea Myles- Talks Booking Her First Recurring Role On "Queen Sugar" After 7 Years Of Consistently Pursuing Her Dream

Andrea J. Myles was born on November 23rd in Jackson, Mississippi. As a child, Andrea was always the fun one, dressing up in costumes, playing different characters and making up accents and changing her voice. Andrea knew at a young age that she wanted to be an entertainer. Whenever there was a talent show at school or a chance to audition for a play, she was there. Her very first play she was in was “Amelia Bedilia” at her elementary school. The first time she stepped foot on that stage and saw all those eyes fixated on her, she knew at that moment, this is where she was supposed to be. Being born and raised in Mississippi where there weren't many opportunities for entertainment, Andrea knew that she would have to move to a bigger city because she had big dreams. Andrea moved to Atlanta, Georgia in 2013 to pursue her acting career seriously. In 2014 she began learning her craft and taking beginners acting classes at Premiere Actor’s Network. From there she started to book and star in some local plays, independent films and webseries. Andrea continued to further her education and continued dedicating countless hours and tears to her craft over the next few years. In 2018, Andrea landed her first ever role on network television recurring on OWN’s “Queen Sugar” playing Rhonda Richards, the sweet and sometimes sassy employee at Vi’s Prized Pies ; and she can currently be seen on Seasons 3 and 4 of the award winning show. Andrea’s huge personality, sense of humor and infectious smile has won over many people and will continue to take her far in this industry. She is so tenacious and works very hard for what she loves and believes in and she’s the type of person that never stops learning. Andrea is working towards longevity in her acting career and she plans to be around for a very long time.
