Marco DiGeorge
as
Pastor Raymond
Marco DiGeorge was born and raised in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, but has lived in Orlando, Florida for the past 10 years. He has always had a passion for film, but considered himself "too shy" to attempt acting in his early years. He spent time behind the camera during college, studying film and television production, and gaining experience with directing and producing a University morning show. Marco stepped away from film in 1993 when he graduated from college in order to focus on a business career, but his passion for film never left him. In 2004 he decided to dive back in head first. This time, however, he had lost his shyness and was ready to be in front of the camera. He began studying film acting and scene study under Shauna Bartel in Orlando, Florida, and a few months later, Marco began auditioning for commercial and film roles, and has been consistently working ever since. His recent projects include the Disney Vacation Video, AllStar Vacation Homes commercial, and independent films "A Bitter Pill" and "The Family Name". Marco credits his loving wife, Kelly, his newborn daughter, Leisa, and his mother, Carmen, as his inspiration. His father, Leonard, who died of cancer in 1999, still remains his hero and mentor. In fact, Marco credits his father as "the man who taught me how to dream".

Penny Page
as
Susan

Born and raised in Washington State, Penny began her acting career in 2004.  As background in the independent films: Pickpocket and Detour, she caught the excitement and thrill of acting. Not wanting to be in front of the camera at first, Penny went on to study dialects and accents for voice over work. In her first movie, TEAM: Bravo Bears, she voiced 6+ voices, including two of the lead characters, and did foley work.  Energized from the experienced, Penny then went on to study under Ginny Kopf, a private voice instructor, in Orlando. Ridding herself of her ‘camera shyness’, Penny went on to do a  supporting role in a t.v. pilot – RocketRay.  Sodom and Gomorrah is her feature film debut and has definitely fueled the fire to do more for the entertainment industry.  To increase her range for acting, Penny has taken Phi Long’s: Introductory Stunt Workshop only to enhance her martial arts background and continues to study the craft. She deeply appreciates William  Roebuck for believing in her to bring his character to life. And thanks to Sharon Roebuck for keeping everyone on track.  Penny thanks her family for their continued patience and support, but gives all credit to the creator of all, for His guidance, and omnipresence.
