Are Q Models also actors?

KKJ — Wed, 03 Jul 2019 12:27:48 GMT

Have seen a few of the models in tv commercials. Just the other day I saw beauty model (older lady) Cheryl in a Golden Corral commercial and Stacy in a restaurant com. Have also seen the older, short-haired lady with gray hair on tv as well.

@KKJ You've answered your own question.

Yes, some of the models are indeed actors. There have been some in highly rated TV movies as well. The models do not work for QVC, they work for independently owned modeling agencies.

By the way, most of the hosts have had acting careers as well: Rick, Kerstin, Sharon (former host), Alberti, Amy, Shawn, Rachel, Elise, and most of the newly hired hosts.

I also find it interesting when they mention the models other occupations, i.e., two of them are nurses, a professional photographer, one has a PhD, etc.

@Caaareful Shopper

So they are acting when they gush over the items they are selling? No wonder they are so good at convincing us we need all this stuff!!!

@Catch71

It's also why so many of them (not all) take the title of TV Shopping Host to their head, and treat each presentation like a reality TV show. It's just another way to fullfill their desire to be in front of the camera. The selling is almost incidental sometimes.

Seriously, one has a PhD? Cool. Isn't it the cute model Amy in beauty shows who's a nurse?

I often see QVC models on commercials. They are local models in the Philadelphia area and that's where I am. Off the top of my head, Deanne, Cheryl, Toni, Stacey, Amy, Amanda. There are more that I can not think of just now.

Donna , one of the models on HSN is in a lot of commercials.

Rhonda Shear and Helen Keaney also on HSN are comedians/actors.

I love watching them together.

@Caaareful Shopper ... just curious... I know that Rick had some real acting roles but, I was unaware that some of the other hosts did also... in particular I am curious about Amy S ... what acting roles has she had? ... what were the names of the movies she was in?

i know Rick worked as an actor before turned to shopping channel host. Also Pat James (before she was DeMetri) worked for quite a while as an actor. I know she was in at least several commercials. Makes sense for them to do so. Acting is highly competitive and if your comfortable in front of the camera, so much better.

KKJ: Yes, Amy is a nurse and the other model, cannot remember her name but she looks very exotic and has the most gorgeous thick and long dark hair and is also very pretty. There was a plus size African American model on a couple ago and the host mentioned that her title is actually a Dr. as she has a PhD. degree.

@January121 Among other jobs, Amy was an actress in soap operas "All My Children" and "One Life to Live." To my knowledge she has never been in a movie.

@Caaareful Shopper ... THANKS! .... she just doesn’t seem a good fit for soaps because of the way she speaks (she mispronounces so many words I can’t see her on a soap opera) ... not looking to cause any argument ... this is just my observation & opinion.

Shawn worked in local news including my area and was on the Martha Stewart version of The Apprentice but I don't think she ever did any acting. I could be wrong about that though.

Re: Are Q Models also actors?

Johnnyeager — Thu, 04 Jul 2019 16:29:43 GMT

The notion that some of the enumerated hosts had "careers" in acting is highly laughable, with the possible exception of Amy and now Terri Conn.

Sure, a lot appeared on local news (is that considered acting?) and some have a few B movie credits.

Sharon was a magician's assistant. I guess that involves acting.

But careers? Hardly.

The other nurse, the exotic looking one is Khadija, I believe.... I have seen both of the models- Stacey in a restaurant commerical and Leah in a car commercial.....

Model, Amy has a bit part as a nurse in "House of Cards" (when Claire donates blood)

Those mentioned are younger than I (58) so for them to give up "acting" careers. . .hmm. .must mean they weren't that good. I consider a TV shopping host a downgrade job from being an actress of TV and/or movies. To consider TV news anchors actors really makes the "fake news" situation a real possibility???? Lol
