For our latest digital feature, we caught up with Samantha Brown (@samantha.brown.__ ) who joined Season 3 of the horror series @fromonmgm as Acosta, one of the townās newest and most skeptical arrivals. Now, returning for Season 4, Samantha steps back into the role with a deeper understanding of both the character and the world she inhabits:
āWhen Acosta first arrived, she was scared, disoriented and very guarded, holding tightly to her moral convictions and struggled to trust anyone or anything around her. This season, we see her shift. She begins to adjust to the reality of the town in meaningful ways, becoming more vulnerable, letting her guard down and slowly opening herself up to the people around her. Thereās a real evolution happening for her this season and it challenges everything she thought she knew about herself.ā

Hello!
I thought it was about time Iād show my face on the grid!
Wazzzuuuup
Okay now that Iāve officially dated myself with that reference (and for those who donāt know, it was from Scary Movie. We would imitate this saying for WAY to long with our friends⦠ah what a magical time).
Iām Ashley! A photographer and actor here in Vancouver! Iāve been in the headshot game for over 8 years and Iāve been a professional actor for over 14 years. So I GET what it feels like to be in photoshoot hoping we āget the shotā thatās going to skyrocket my career to the next level and also worrying about what Iām doing with my hands. Thatās why I pride myself on creating a comfortable and empowering space so you can fully step into the best version of yourself!
Random facts, because why not;
1. I am obsessed with the show Friends. Still watch it everyday before going to bed. And have PLENTY of Friends memorabilia in my home.
2. I love leopard print⦠I guess thatās an obvious one with the pictures above. I truly am a mix of all the female characters on friends⦠but my style is definitely Janice. And I AM HERE FOR IT.
3. Iām a Scorpio ā some can say that means that Iām intense and highly emotional. *Cue deciding to become an actor*. Seems fitting now that you know right?
4. I STILL listen to late 1990ās and early 2000ās music like it came out yesterday. Britney, BSB, Christina, Ace of Base, Old Shania, Spice girls, JayZ, Eminem and the list goes on. I do listen to other stuff tooā¦sometimes.
5. I love to devour Podcasts. Some of my favorites @manifestationbabe , @jasminestar , @jameswedmore , @armchairexppod and @smartless .
6. I love Coffee. I am basically Lorelei Gilmore. Yesā that is another 2000ās reference⦠maybe I should go to therapy and talk about this.
7. I love to travel.
Dream role would be a sitcom/rom-com that intertwines all of my favorite shows. Friends meets Gilmore Girls meets The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel meets Brooklynn 99 meets the Office meets Jane the Virgin. Thatās a lot of meeting but I know it will come.
Thank you for reading my ted talk about random.
What are some random facts or dream roles for you? Or are there any podcast that I have to listen to?

thank u @ashleyrossstudios WASNT SHE THE SWEETEST
actor headshot tips (things i wish i knew)
⢠most photographers have a hair and makeup package add on so you donāt have to worry (if they donāt, they usually will recommend a makeup artist)
⢠NATURAL makeup!! casting directors want you to look like YOU
⢠for clothes; solid colours and minimal to no texture/design (maybe do a colour analysis to see what looks best)
⢠how many looks do you want to do? search whatās popular for you demographic now and cater somewhat to that
⢠most importantly bruh have fun <3

Shy girl š¤ Show girl
Hi! Thereās some new faces so I thought Iād introduce myself: Iām Sarah. Iām an actor, creator + silly lady. Also weird, whimsical and possibly witchy š§āāļø
Without being too ⨠yt girl toxic positivity ⨠I believe in magic: Itās magic to grow and learn about ourselves. Art is magic. Most importantly, magic happens when we not only heal ourselves, but lift others up as well.
I hope to keep pursuing connection - both IRL and online - no matter how much my brain says people donāt like me š¤ŗ
Thanks for following. Iām so happy youāre here!
šø @ashleyrossstudios (sheās wonderful)

New commercial headshots for 2026 (just to prove that I do, in fact, have a lighter side).
Of course, I remain immensely grateful to all the casting directors who keep bringing me in to play thugs, psychos, and awful ex-boyfriends. This is merely a reminder that I can also play awful ex-boyfriends on the Hallmark channel. š
