Cheryl Dudley-Prior

I am a retired senior U.S. government professional and Navy Reserve officer with more than three decades of experience working in national security, international affairs, and leadership environments. My career has taken me into settings ranging from senior-level government meetings and formal diplomatic and military events to multinational engagements in the United States and overseas, including several years living and working in the United Kingdom. While I am new to professional film and television work, I performed in several stage productions in high school and have always had an interest in acting. I am comfortable taking direction, working as part of a team, and remaining composed and natural in formal or high-pressure environments. I would bring authenticity to background roles involving government, military, diplomatic, intelligence, or professional settings—not simply through appearance, but through an understanding of how people in those environments interact, move, and conduct themselves. I am also a genuine fan of The Diplomat and would be thrilled to have the opportunity to contribute to the production.
